LUBExpert
Acoustic bearing lubrication monitoring system
Grease bearings right — with the right lubricant, at the right location, at the right interval, in the right quantity.
Improper lubrication is the leading cause of bearing failure
Fewer than 40% of bearings reach their designed service life. The main reason is over- and under-greasing caused by calendar-based schedules. LUBExpert solves this problem.
of bearings reach their designed service life
leads to wasteful over-greasing or dangerous under-greasing
and lack of data are the source of most lubrication mistakes
The solution: LUBExpert
Grease reduces friction in bearings. LUBExpert warns of rising friction, guides the lubrication process, and prevents over-application. A complete ultrasonic solution for managing your acoustic lubrication program — GREASE BEARINGS RIGHT.
Key features
LUBExpert functionality that eliminates guesswork and delivers consistent results across your entire lubrication program.
Bearing database
LUBExpert maintains a database of all assets: bearing type, dimensions, recommended lubricant, and service history.
Automation
Removes the guesswork: automatic stabilization-time calculation and monitoring between grease shots.
Guided and Free modes
Guided Mode — step-by-step guidance for beginners. Free Mode — full flexibility for mature programs.
Shopping List
Reminds technicians to bring the right grease type and the right quantity for the day’s tasks.
Work Orders
Shows which bearings need lubrication today — restoring order to the program.
System Messaging
Documents the reasons an asset was skipped. Keeps the team communicating.
The 5 principles of correct lubrication
GREASE BEARINGS RIGHT — every time, for every bearing
The right lubricant
Different applications require different lubricants. LUBExpert’s built-in assistant helps select the right grease and reminds you of the bearing’s maximum capacity.
The right location
With thousands of assets, how can you be sure you’re greasing the right bearings? UAS tree-structured navigation guides your team across the plant.
The right interval
Whether on a calendar or condition-based schedule, LUBExpert and Ultranalysis Suite alert you when bearings need to be regreased.
The right quantity
Over- and under-greasing are the leading causes of failure. The assistant continuously calculates friction levels between grease shots and stops once the optimum is reached.
The right indicators
LUBExpert completes each task with a GOOD, BAD, or SUSPECT result. UAS Suite documentation displays before/after data, grease quantity added, and consumption by department.
Dynamic Option
Connecting the lubrication team with the condition monitoring team
Dynamic Option links the lubrication team with the condition monitoring team. Dynamic data is displayed in UAS3 in both the time and frequency domains, eliminating the information gap between departments.
- The lubrication team collects dynamic data for the CM team
- Asset condition is transparent across all departments
- Completely eliminates information gaps
- Dynamic Option is purchased separately as an add-on to an existing LUBExpert
UAS3 Bearing Toolbox
Diagnose bearing defects with the revolutionary Bearing Toolbox in UAS3. Over 50,000 bearings in the database — simply select the one you need and analyze the data.
- Bearing database management (50,000+ records)
- Trend analysis and complete lubrication history
- Automatic reports: before/after, grease consumption
- Integration with time and frequency domain analysis
