| A program for monitoring bearing and gear
condition does not have to be extremely complicated nor does it have
to require a large investment of capital to get it going. A complimentary
or stand alone technology to infrared and vibration that is cost-effective
and relatively easy to incorporate into a bearing or gear maintenance
program is airborne/structure borne ultrasound.
There are many causes for bearing and gear failure that ultrasound
condition monitoring can detect quickly, at its earliest stages, before
the problem ensues and becomes a catastrophe. Age and contamination
of rolling bearing and gears make up a large part of machine failure.
In fact, more than 70 percent of machines are removed from service due
to degradation of mechanical surfaces.
