Grease Bearings Right with LUBExpert

Poor lubrication practices account for as much as 40% of all premature bearing failures. When ultrasound is utilized to assess lubrication needs and schedule grease replenishment intervals, that number drops below 10%. What would 30% fewer bearing related failures mean for your organization? Keeping up with the changes in on-condition bearing lubrication techniques is challenging.

Start by asking “Why start an ultrasound lubrication program and what improvements do we expect?” Saving money is an obvious benefit that gets the attention of management, but it is not specific enough. How will an ultrasound lubrication program save money? By reducing grease consumption, raising awareness of the right types of grease to use. By making more effective use of lube tech’s time and reducing unwanted machine breakdowns caused by lubrication failures. And lastly, by extending bearing life expectancy.
