If you ever had a lubrication related bearing failure you need to have a look at the UE Systems OnTrak SmartLube System.
The OnTrak SmartLube is a remote bearing monitoring and lubrication system designed to reduce over 80% of premature bearings failure by enabling remote condition-based lubrication.When it comes to bearings, friction is the enemy.
We go to great lengths to try to avoid unnecessary friction in our rolling element bearings and yet we often experience premature bearing failure caused by lubrication issues.
Using ultrasound, the OnTrak system monitors the friction in a bearing, constantly listening for the first sign of a lubrication issue. It will then notify you of the need for lubrication, long before any damage is done to the bearing. Using the bearing friction as the guide, you can precisely and accurately lubricate using only the required amount of grease to bring the friction back to the monitored baseline.
By using real-time friction as your guide while re-greasing, you have the data and certainty that you have not over or underlubricated the bearing.
The system is fast becoming a real success story!
