Ultrasound has already become one of the most important, reliable, and widely used technologies by maintenance professionals all over the world. Its many applications (from leak detection to a complete bearing monitoring and lubrication program) and the quick learning curve makes it highly popular among inspectors. But to get the maximum out of an ultrasonic […]

Keeping a handle on lubrication is easy, right? All one needs to do is make sure the right lubricant is used in the right amount and at the right time. Not so fast; if only it were that simple.  It has been estimated that 60-90% of all bearing failures are lubrication related. Bearing failures most […]

Airborne & structure-borne ultrasound has become a major player in bearing condition monitoring. Once considered just a leak detector, more maintenance & reliability professionals are beginning to realize all of the benefits associated with using ultrasound for condition monitoring applications. The P-F Curve with which we have all become familiar with reflects that trend. It […]

When companies wish to reduce the energy cost of their industrial facilities, finding and repairing existing compressed air leaks is an excellent starting point. But such a task requires time, personnel, and the right tools. Thus, efficiency is key when it comes to carrying on a leak detection program. And, right now, nothing is more […]

UE Systems, a pioneering force in developing ultrasonic detection instruments and solutions for maintenance and reliability, unveils its latest innovation – the OnTrak Wireless system.
