Ultraprobe 201 Grease Caddy


Overview

Ultraprobe 201 Grease Caddy

With UE Systems' advanced ultrasound technology, you can accurately know when to lubricate and when not to lubricate. UE Systems' unique heterodyning and acoustic filtration system helps you isolate and clearly hear bearing sounds, even in the most noisy plant environments.

The Ultraprobe 201 Grease Caddy is so sensitive that you will hear when the grease enters the bearing, and recognize when to stop applying the lubrication. Other benefits include...

  • Knowing when not to lubricate
  • And hearing failed bearings early

In addition, you can also preset baseline levels to help recognize when a bearing does not need to be lubricated. This feature alone can help reduce your maintenance overhead substantially, by reducing the error of over-lubrication (a common cause of bearing failure).

Other features include an easy-to-read LED display (providing visual indication of ultrasound amplitude), a built-in front-end lamp to illuminate dark areas and a swivel-base which adjusts to odd angles.

By using the Ultraprobe 201 Grease Caddy, we can...

  • Prolong the life of equipment
  • Prevent over-lubrication of bearings
  • Save on man-hours and operating costs, improving on maintenance efficiency in the process

How does it work?

As lubrication levels fall, friction levels rise producing ultrasonic waves, which are very directional and localized. Easily attached to most standard grease guns, the Ultraprobe 201 Grease Caddy translates high frequency sounds into the audible range where users will hear and recognize bearing sounds. By focusing in on these sounds, even in some of the noisiest environments, users can identify when to stop lubricating.

The Ultraprobe 201 Grease Caddy also helps identify how much louder a bearing has gotten, which in turn helps determine when to lubricate and when not to lubricate. For this reason, this piece of equipment is ideally suited to detect early warning sounds of low lubrication levels, as well as a bearing failure.
