What does it mean to lubricate bearings properly? More than 30% of bearings failures are attributed to poor lubrication practices. Ultrasound takes the guesswork out of how your bearings react to each shot of grease by providing instant feedback with every injection, in real time. Join us as we discuss the basic principles of acoustics, how we lubricated in the past and what the future of industry looks like as we overcome barriers to poor lubrication practices. We will dive deep into the inner workings of a rolling element bearing as each shot of grease is delivered and why precision lubrication is so important. Finally, we will explore best practices in managing lubricants to prevent contamination, controlled output and how technology has progressed to provide real-time feedback while automating the lubrication process. Lubrication excellence is achieved by preventing lubrication-based failures, reducing downtime and ensuring that maintenance always gets done.
