Why use Ultrasound for Mechanical Inspection?
Ultrasound detects friction, impacting and turbulence earlier than any other condition monitoring technology.
Bearing defects cause friction and impacting. Lubrication issues, whether it’s under or over lubrication, cause increased bearing friction and eventually impacting. However, ultrasound detects these faults early before the bearing reaches the point of no return, in order to plan a corrective maintenance to restore the bearing and machinery.
Ultrasound owns the APEX of the D-I-P-F Curve, giving maintenance the biggest window of opportunity to prepare.
