Ultrasound lubrication checker TLGU 10

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SKF Ultrasound Lubrication Checker, TLGU 10, is designed to enhance maintenance practices by improving the accuracy of manual re-lubrication of bearings. It utilizes ultrasonic technology to ensure the correct amount of lubricant is applied, thereby extending bearing life and improving asset reliability.
Key Features:
  • Ease of Use: The TLGU 10 is user-friendly, combining auditory and visual feedback to guide technicians in applying the right amount of lubricant.
  • Cost Efficiency: By preventing over-lubrication, the device reduces excess grease costs and enhances asset reliability.
  • Increased Accuracy: Provides real-time guidance, moving away from theoretical models or technician experience.
  • Extended Bearing Life: Accurate lubrication optimizes bearing performance, reducing wear and failure risks.
Technical Specifications:
  • Measurement: Single channel via a 7 pole LEMO connector, with a measuring range of -6 to 99.9 dBµV.
  • Display: 160 x 128 pixels Color OLED.
  • Audio: Amplification adjustable in 5 positions, maximum output of +83 dB SPL with supplied headset.
  • Power: Operates on 2 AA batteries with a life of 7 hours.
  • Environmental: Operating temperature from –10 to +50 °C, IP42 rating.
  • Mechanical: Made from ABS material, with dimensions of 158 × 59 × 38.5 mm and a weight of 164 g.
Operational Benefits: The TLGU 10 transforms re-lubrication into a condition-based process, ensuring the right amount of lubricant is applied at the right time. This prevents both under- and over-lubrication, which can lead to premature bearing failure or unnecessary costs.
Additional Information: The device does not include a grease gun, which must be purchased separately. SKF offers a range of compatible grease guns.

Ultrasound lubrication checker TLGU 10-1

SKF Ultrasound 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 underlubrication, 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. • Easy to use The TLGU 10 is supplied as a kit. Combining sound with visual displays helps the technician to re-lubricate with maximum accuracy. • Saves cost As well as avoiding over-lubrication – and excess grease costs – the added accuracy improves the reliability of a customer’s assets. • Increases reliability and accuracy Rather than using theoretical models or experience, a technician is given accurate, real-time guidance on the progress of the re-lubrication process. • Extends bearing life Accurate re-lubrication leads to optimum bearing performance, which reduces the likelihood of wear a

SKF Ultrasound Lubrication Checker Re-lubrication is critical to extending the life of bearings yet is often carried out based on experience. The TLGU 10 makes re-lubrication a more practical, condition-based process, by delivering the correct amount of lubricant to a bearing at the right time. TLGU 10 allows a technician to listen to this sound, via headphones. The sound changes abruptly at the point where the correct amount of lubrication has been applied. In addition, a coloured display indicates noise levels for ease of use. The device is simple to use, and relies on a robust, repeatable...
