ELMSFORD, N.Y. — UE Systems has released a new device that will allow users to better manage their lubrication programs or procedures and reduce bearing failures. The Ultraprobe 401 Digital Grease Caddy Pro (UP401) has the ability to measure, data log and trend the amount of lubricant used in order to optimize equipment maintenance. By translating inaudible ultrasonic bearing sounds to audible sounds heard by the inspector through headphones and indicated on the display panel as a decibel level, the UP401 gives users the necessary insight to apply precisely the right amount of lubrication without using too much lubricant.
“Lubrication is one of the most common causes of premature bearing failures,” said Doug Waetjen, vice president of operations at UE Systems. “Too little lubrication results in friction, causing bearings to overheat and malfunction. Over lubrication is considerably more damaging. With the UP401, users will have unmatched control over lubrication management, from the initial diagnosis to the analysis and storage of data.”
