LUBExpert
Poor greasing practices are a leading cause of bearing failure. Less than 40% of bearings will last long enough to deliver their engineered value and over or under lubrication is most often to blame.
Many lube departments re-grease on a wasteful calendar-based schedule. But, this leads to over and under greased bearings that fail to deliver their engineered value.
Grease reduces friction in bearings. Less friction means longer life. LUBExpert alerts you when friction levels increase, guides you during re-lubrication, and prevents over and under lubrication.
LUBExpert is an ultrasound solution that helps you Grease Bearings Right. Use the right lubricant at the right location using the right intervals and the right quantities while receiving the right indication of a task well done including bearing status.
The LUBExpert is a complete ultrasound solution to manage your acoustic lubrication program and ensure you GREASE BEARINGS RIGHT.

LUBExpert maintains a database of all your assets including bearing type and dimensions.
Automation
LUBExpert removes the guesswork by automatically calculating the stabilization time between grease pumps.
Guided & Free Modes
LUBExpert offers two modes to grease bearings right; “free” and “guided”. Whether your program is mature, or just getting started LUBExpert helps you grease bearings right.

LUBExpert’s Onboard Ultrasound Assistant ensures you Grease Bearings Right
Different applications require different lubricants. But, which one is the right one? LUBExpert’s onboard assistant helps you select the correct grease and reminds you of the bearing’s maximum capacity.
With potentially thousands of assets to manage, how can you be sure you’re greasing the right bearings? LUBExpert’s onboard assistant guides you through your plant using UAS’s tree structured navigation.
Whether you lubricate on a calendar-based or condition-based schedule, LUBExpert and Ultranalysis Suite alert you when bearings are due for relubrication. Alarms triggered by SDT’s evolutionary FOUR CONDITION INDICATORS make sure the “squeaky wheel” gets the grease on time.
Over and under lubrication are to blame for most lubrication related failures. LUBExpert’s onboard assistant continuously calculates friction levels between half shots of grease advising you to add more – or stop when optimal friction levels are reached.
LUBExpert delivers confidence to the task of re-greasing bearings. The onboard assistant guides you smoothly through the task and concludes with a GOOD, BAD, or SUSPECT result. Activities are tied back into UAS Suite data management software where logical reports illustrate before and after, quantity of grease added per point, and total grease consumed by department or plant.With potentially thousands of assets to manage, how can you be sure you’re greasing the right bearings? LUBExpert’s onboard assistant guides you through your plant using UAS’s tree structured navigation.
The LUBExpert Dynamic option connects the Lube Team
with the Condition Monitoring Team
with the Condition Monitoring Team
Dynamic data collected by LUBExpert is displayed in Ultranalysis® Suite 3 in the Time and Frequency domain. This dual reliability benefit saves time while removing information silos.
The lubrication team can now collect dynamic data for the condition monitoring team.
Asset condition information is now transparent across departments.
By having the Lube Team collect and (if necessary) monitor Dynamic data, it becomes an integral member of the Condition Monitoring Team.
The LUBExpert kit remains the same, the additional Dynamic option can be purchased separately.

UAS3 Bearing Toolbox
Diagnose bearing faults with the game-changing Bearing Toolbox feature on UAS3. Leave the time-consuming and annoying research in the past. Simply select the desired bearing from our database (more than 50K references included!) and use the data to find out where the failure is!
LUBExpert Trainings:
LUBESense1 are ultrasound resonant sensors optimized for assistance during lubrication. LUBESense1 consists of a PZT piezoelectric ceramic glued on a mechanical resonant structure. The sensor is housed in stainless steel and further protected in a Rubber cover.
A holster is available as accessory to protect and keep clean the LUBExpert.
The heavy-duty nylon holster for the LUBExpert prevents dust ingress, and general wear and tear, while keeping the encased ultrasound unit clean.
