| K93800 Grease Noise Tester This instrument is used to test the lubrication integrity of greases. The use of clean lubricants is essential for obtaining long bearing life. Many factors affect the degree of cleanliness of greases during normal operation but a clean grease for initial lubrication as well as re-lubrication is essential to ensure machine longevity. In applications where bearing fatigue life is not critical (i.e. - low operating loads), clean grease is still essential to ensure low bearing noise required for many electric motor applications. Therefore, the grease noise tester is an invaluable tool to determine quiet running characteristics of various grease lubricants. Our grease noise tester has two major advantages over other noise testers: 1. Provides a quantitative assessment of the noise characteristics of the grease 2. Provides the tools and resources for fast and reliable analysis Quantitative Assessment The grease noise tester is able to measure the specific distrubance caused by the rolling of particulate, called vibration peaks. The tester contains a proprietary Peak Detection Algorithm which enables these vibration peaks to be singled out from the total bearing vibration signal. The number of vibration peaks detected, as well as their intensity, can be evaluated to determine a quantitative value for quiet running behavior of the bearing. Furthermore, the tester can perform "grease damping ability" which allows for a direct comparison between the running of a dry bearing vs. the running of a lubricated bearing. Fast and Reliable Analysis The grease noise tester is semi-automated and is designed to allow for proper testing while minimizing the risk of outside contamination of the test grease lubricant. This is done through computer-controlled grease dosages and peak measurements on a single test bearing of special low noise quality. The operator simply mounts the test bearing and test grease syringe into the tester, programs the test parameters into the computer, and starts the test. The test results can be monitored, recorded, and evaluated on a PC with the provided data acquisition software package.
