A regular condition-based monitoring of bearings is essential for a successful preventative maintenance program. The early detection of damages or signs of wear in both friction and non-friction bearings leads to downtime prevention, increased operational reliability, and considerable cost savings.
If the lubricant decreases, the first indication will be an increase in acoustics, as the friction of the solids in the rolling bearing increases at the same time. This can be quickly detected with the ultrasonic testers of the SONAPHONE series. With the help of the SONAPHONE, under- and overlubrication can be detected with the aid of reference measurements and lubrication cycles can be checked for their necessity. In addition, the SONAPHONE can also be used to check pumps for cavitation. The different device versions as well as the extensive accessories offer various assistance and documentation options for machine and rolling bearing testing with ultrasound.
The SONAPHONE range of devices are used in a large variety of industries. The web-and-app-concept and the extensive accessories enable these devices to be used for various applications. The ultrasonic testing device SONAPHONE can be used to check lubrication and friction levels, interpret defect induced noises, and in the case of rotary pumps, detect cavitation.
The SONAPHONE allows the user to monitor damage and wear on rotating machinery and other moving components. Ultrasound data, including levels, spectra, and audio can be recorded during individual or series of tests. All data can then be transferred from the device to a computer and presented through the SONAPHONE DataSuite PC software, for further trending and analysis.
