June 5, 2024 \u2014 Frederick, MD<\/em> \u2013 Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies, an Amphenol company, has added ultrasound detection to the company\u2019s suite of condition monitoring solutions. Ultrasound monitoring can diagnose machinery problems such as bearing over- and under-lubrication and other conditions that lead to bearing wear, enabling ultrasound to complement vibration monitoring and enhance condition-based maintenance programs.<\/p>\n

Wilcoxon\u2019s UDK-CM ultrasound condition monitoring solution can be used to achieve bearing precision lubrication, supported by the company\u2019s traditional vibration sensing products for root cause analysis. The ultrasound receiver and cloud-based condition monitoring application allow maintenance teams to hear and analyze the friction index of each bearing, indicate the precise amount of lubrication required, and extend the life of the bearing. As the bearing ages and normal fatigue occurs, vibration monitoring can detect early signs of brinelling, corrosion, and developing faults, such as misalignment, looseness, tight fits, excessive loads, damage to the bearing or race, and impending failures.<\/p>\n

In addition to the UDK-CM Condition Monitoring Kit, Wilcoxon is releasing three other application-specific ultrasound detection kits. <\/p>\n
