Schaeffler Lubricant Supply Monitoring
- Up-to-date information about the condition of the grease in the bearing
- No outlay for manual sampling and analysis of grease
- Allows automated, optimised, and requirement-based relubrication
- Cost savings for fresh and used grease (sustainability)
Online grease monitoring helps to minimise bearing failures
The service life of the lubricant is the decisive value for the bearing life. The GreaseCheck grease sensor can be used for monitoring bearings lubricated with grease. The lubricant can be topped up or replaced in good time before damage occurs.
Comprehensive reasons to use GreaseCheck
More efficiency
Online information about the condition of the grease optimises relubrication and saves both time and costs for offline grease analyses
More productivity
Statically, grease that is in good condition allows 25% of all bearing failures to be prevented.
Enhanced reliability
Even in hard-to-reach machines and facilities, the condition of the grease can be monitored without a large outlay.
