Specifications and more information
High fidelity vibration audio
If you use a vibration data collector or use a grease gun to lubricate bearings then listening to the sound of the bearing in high fidelity using the Baseline UVLA F-Pro package adds a whole new dimension of inside information and answers the following important questions:
- How much grease?
Over-greasing can cause serious problems such as overheating, damage to seals and in the case of TEFC motors, block up the internal cooling fans. Do you require a 10% fill or a 40% fill? Do you even know your bearing's grease specification? Ideally, you just need to know that the grease has reached the bearing and apply no more. This is easily achieved with the UVLA by simply listening to the bearing tone change as the grease arrives. This also confirms that the grease path is not blocked. The Baseline UVLA F-Pro package takes away the guesswork in machinery lubrication.
- Unusual noises in the bearing?
Vibration sources, such as knocks and scrapes are broadband in nature and are not easily seen in a vibration spectrum. So, by listening to the bearing you learn a lot more about the condition of the cage, or if seals are scraping, or a locking tab is brushing on another surface and the like!
- Is your accelerometer cable damaged?
The accelerometer cable is the part of your data capture system most likely to fail because it is constantly being flexed and twisted. It is quite possible for you to collect data for hours and miss the fact that there is noise being generated causing data corruption. Not if you have the Baseline UVLA F-Pro in operation! The earliest damage to a cable will be heard clearly in the headphones long before your data is corrupted and can therefore save you many hours of repeat work. With the Baseline UVLA F-Pro you’re continuously ensuring that the quality of the data being captures.
- How can I interpret the sounds I am hearing?
The high fidelity reproduction using the Baseline UVLA F-Pro makes it easy to interpret the sounds – from the smooth swishing noise of a good bearing to the grinding sound of a dry bearing to the noisy rattle of a damaged bearing. With a little experience your confidence is gained very quickly.
