Measuring Bearing Friction In Real Time-What 8.5 Billion Data Points Has Taught Us

IMC Presentation (45:01)

by Blair Fraser, UE Systems

After reviewing the real-time friction values of thousands of bearings, with almost 8.5 billion data points collected, we are able to confirm what we had expected - that the proper amount of lubrication, applied at the right time, will bring our friction levels back down to baseline.

TAKEAWAY: Bearing health does not have to be complicated. Most impactful will be the many case studies.

You can ask anything about maintenance, reliability, and asset management.
