Fight friction and impacting by optimizing your lubrication processes.
LUBExpert is a monitoring and management solution for world-class lubrication programs.
Machinery lubrication remains the single biggest factor affecting asset reliability, and it is still one of the most misunderstood maintenance tasks performed in industry. Get it wrong and the results can be devastating. But get it right & asset stakeholders can expect long and trouble-free life from their bearings. Seek a better machinery lubrication solution… seek LUBExpert.
When bearings fail unexpectedly, production grinds to a halt and the last thing manufacturers need to worry about is the price of replacing a single failed bearing. They must consider what processes have been affected, how long the downtime is going to take, if they even have the proper spares on location to make the necessary repairs, and what the total cost of downtime is going to be.
Even today, with the many advancements in maintenance coming with modern manufacturing techniques, data, and systems, so many machinery lubrication departments still grease their bearings on a wasteful calendar and formula-based schedule. Re-lubrication strategies based on formulae and calendars are the norm in industry and they were the best science we had before ultrasound. But using time-based strategies can lead to bearings being over-greased and under-greased. Therefore, a condition-based approach must be implemented for optimal bearing lubrication.
The Most Advanced Ultrasound Analysis Software Ever Written
The LUBExpert’s union with UAS3 was transformative for ultrasound condition monitoring, creating a seamless workflow that bridges the gap between lubrication reliability and analysis. The LUBExpert captures high-resolution data with precision during lubrication tasks, which is transferrable to UAS3 for detailed analysis, trend tracking, and report generation.
This full integration allows for access to critical information in the field and enables users to efficiently manage, assess, and act on asset performance in real-time. Together, the LUBExpert and UAS3 provide a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for ultrasound condition monitoring.
LUBESense Sensor & the Acoustic LUBE AdapterThe LUBESense sensor collects high-quality, accurate, and reliable condition monitoring data, ensuring optimal performance for motor bearings. Paired with the Acoustic Lube Adapter, it securely mounts the sensor to the grease fitting during lubrication injections, providing stable and repeatable measurements. This setup enables precise condition-based re-lubrication, helping maintain bearing health and extend asset life. The adapter’s design ensures easy attachment to grease fittings, while its stability guarantees consistent, reliable data every time, making it an essential tool for effective lubrication management.
