Ultrasound lubrication checker
TLGU 10
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.

Note: A grease gun is not included in the scope of delivery of TLGU 10. SKF offers a range of grease guns which can be purchased separately.
Benefits
The TLGU 10 helps technicians to deliver the optimum amount of lubricant in order to maximise bearing performance and lifetime.

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.
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 and failure.
Save cost
As well as avoiding over-lubrication – and excess grease costs – the added accuracy improves the reliability of a customer’s assets.
Instructions
Click on the dots to see more information
A long press on ON/OFF will switch the unit ON/OFF; A short press on ON/OFF will toggle between the graph mode and numbers mode
To switch between the default screen and the streaming screen press the on/off button once. An histogram giving a brief history of the measurement is dynamically displayed. The amplification adjustment is not available anymore
It is important to settle the amplification level before taking any stand on diagnosis: following the amplification guidance icons. When the RMS measurement is displayed in green, the amplification is correctly set. When red, the amplification is too high. When ‘’-.-‘’ is displayed, the amplification is too low.
Connect the cable to the device by lining up the red dot on the plug with the red mark on the connector and then inserting the plug into the connector. To unplug them, move-up the knurled barrel of the plug without any rotating movement. Proceed in the same way to connect and unplug the sensor to the cable.
The device can be powered through its USB port with an external power source (not provided). It turns off automatically when the battery power is insuff of inactivity.
To take a correct RMS measurement, the amplification needs to be adjusted for every reading in the default screen. This is done by using the up and down arrows and following the triangular amplification guidance icons in the top left hand corner of the display.
