Ultrasensor is a unique method for using ultrasound to measure lubricant film thickness in operating bearings, pump seals and other lubricated contacts. For the first time is possible to measure the oil film thickness in an operating bearing in an item of machinery or plant. This means that it is possible to monitor bearing condition and detect failures before any damage occurs. The measurement is non-invasive,real-time and has excellent accuracy and reliability. The technology has been fully proven in the laboratory and in industrial environments. Tribosonics Ltd (www.tribosonics.com) offer measurement equipment supporting Ultrasensor, and provides application expertise to the engineering industry world-wide.
