Lubrication Checker
Ultrasonic sensor improves maintenance practices when
re-lubricating bearings

Designed for maintenance technicians, the TLGU 10 uses ultrasonic technology


to improve manual re-lubrication. When connected to a grease gun, the
intuitive device helps a technician to dispense the correct amount of lubricant
into a bearing. By overcoming the problems associated with over- or under-
lubrication, it can help to extend bearing life. The device is recommended for a
range of bearing applications including electric motors, pumps, fans,
compressors and conveyors.
