SDT LUBExpert Offers

Dedicated to acoustic bearing lubrication and guiding lubricators during the bearing grease replenishment task, this detector combines strong measurement capabilities and a clever user interface to create onboard lubrication and greasing assistant. Intelligent algorithms guide lube-techs before, during, and after re-greasing resulting in optimal lubrication parameters on all assets. With only a few machine parameters, it monitors each stroke of grease and its effect on bearing friction and temperature.

Bearing database

Maintains a database of all your assets including bearing type and dimensions.

Automation

Removes the guesswork by automatically calculating the stabilization time between grease pumps.

Guided and free modes

Offers two modes to grease bearings right; "free" and "guided". Whether your program is mature, or just getting started, this instrument helps you grease bearings right.

Shopping list

Reminds you to bring the right grease type and the right quantity for the days lube tasks.

Work orders

Reminds you which bearings need grease today. Restore order and discipline to your lubrication program.

System messaging

Uses messaging to document and advise your team why an asset was skipped.

Grease bearings right

• Right grease: Stops lube-techs from mixing incompatible greases
• Right asset: On-screen instructions guide lube techs to the correct asset every time
• Right schedule: The data-driven outcomes help strategists establish the best lubrication intervals
• Right outcome: It nows the condition of the grease and the bearing and now you do too
• Right amount: Put an end to over and under lubrication once and for all

Ultranalysis Suite 3 software

Manage, trend, and analyze your ultrasound data.

• Create hundreds of databases and surveys
• Track grease types and grease consumption
• Precise diagnosis with the four condition indicators
• Sort assets by status: lubrication success/failure, over greased, shorten interval, suspected bearing failure

During any lube task, the dynamic option collects analytics in the background, thereby providing asset condition data to both the lube and condition monitoring teams. This is a win for communications, efficiency and overall reliability.

Break down the silos

Dynamic data collected by the LUBExpert is displayed in UAS3 in the Time and Frequency domain. This dual reliability benefit saves time while removing information silos. The lubrication team can now collect dynamic data for the condition monitoring team. Asset condition information is now transparent across departments.

The dynamic option completely removes the information gap between lubrication and condition monitoring teams. By having the lube team collect and (if necessary) monitor dynamic data, it becomes an integral member of the condition monitoring team.

Applications

• Mechanical condition monitoring
• Bearing lubrication monitoring
