PMWS1: Mechanical Inspection & Lubrication Utilising Ultrasound Workshop

Chris Hallum, Regional Manager, UE Systems

Description

A high percentage of premature bearing failures can be accounted for through poor lubrication practices. Rotating assets produce friction, this in turn produces ultrasound. Ultrasound has a great benefit of being able to detect early, potential failure in bearings and can also be used to monitor lubrication levels through the friction generated.  This workshop will be focussed on the uses of Ultrasound for Condition monitoring and cover the basics of Ultrasound assisted lubrication programs.
