Ultrasound Assisted Lubrication: Three Ways to Improve Lubrication Practices
Take great care to avoid introducing contaminants into the lubrication. To monitor how much grease you are using, calibrate your grease gun: there is a device that attaches to your grease gun and gives you an LED reading of how much grease you’re using, mass-wise...

Ultrasound Assisted Lubrication
Improper bearing lubrication is responsible for several issues, such as increased lubricant usage, increased bearing purchases (due to failures), increased equipment failures, increased operating temperatures, and motors that run inefficiently.

Deep Well Vertical Pump Analysis using Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA)
There are many advantages that vertical pumps provide over horizontally mounted pumps and when they operate properly they generally provide many years of reliable, maintenance free operation. However, in almost any plant with a large inventory of vertical pumps they will have one or more of these pumps that are considered “bad actors”...
