Description
Relubrication is crucial for extending bearing life, but is often a matter of experience. The TLGU 10 makes relubrication a more practical process, taking into account the equipment's condition to ensure the correct amount of lubricant is delivered to the bearing at the right time.
The device is easy to use and uses a reliable, highly repeatable sensor designed for harsh conditions. The sensor monitors the sound of lubricant filling the bearing. When connected to a grease gun, the TLGU 10 allows the technician to hear this sound through headphones. The sound changes sharply when the required amount of lubricant is filled into the bearing. A color display also shows noise levels for ease of use.
A combination of audio and visual monitoring helps technicians perform lubrication quickly and accurately. Under-lubrication can lead to premature bearing failure or contaminants entering the bearing. Over-lubrication is wasteful and uneconomical, and can have serious consequences. Both under- and over-lubrication can shorten the life of a bearing.
The TLGU 10 helps technicians deliver the optimal amount of lubricant to maximize bearing performance and life.
