London - Kittiwake, a global provider of asset control and protection technology, announced the launch of its MHC Bearing Checker, a small, hand-held device, designed to provide an instant indication of machinery condition. The acoustic emission-based instrument is a solution to monitoring an unlimited number of machines on a periodic basis.
Based on the detection of high frequency activity which is naturally generated by deterioration in rotating machinery, the MHC Bearing Checker is simple to use as its Distress® parameter removes the need for machine specific interpretations. If Distress® is greater than 10, the user knows there is a problem and can instigate further checks. A dB Level is also provided, giving an indication of the overall noise of the bearing; it increases with speed of rotation, but also with degradation of the bearing or inadequate lubrication.
