Method and device for sensing health and condition of a bearing through the lubrication port of a machine

摘要

An online bearing monitor that connects between the bearing lubrication port and a lubrication device. The monitor provides for two-way communication to detect the lubrication and maintenance needs of a machine bearing. The monitor processes and stores temperature and vibration signals to determine corrective measures. The corrective measures can be conveyed wire or wirelessly to remote stations.
