While performing a condition-based lubrication route, our customer, a Lubrication Technician at a Canadian Pulp & Paper Plant recorded the following two measurements on one of their critical motors. In Figure 1, we observe the Ultrasound FFT before the grease injection, and in Figure 2 we can see the effect
At SDT Ultrasound Solutions we are meticulous about bearing lubrication. We know one lubrication mistake can mean hours, even days of unplanned downtime… because we’ve seen it happen. Lubrication related failures are especially difficult to plan for because one wrong move can rapidly deteriorate the condition of a bearing,
Particle contamination in bearing grease, also known as lubrication contamination, is a common problem encountered by manufacturers and their lube techs around the world. A study done by the National Research Council of Canada found that 82% of bearing wear is caused by particle contamination. This makes lubrication contamination the
