Review
To manufacture quality products or provide services at competitive prices is essential
to survive in today's business climate. We are forced to look for better ways of doing
things on continual basis. To meet customer's needs - on their schedule - requires
(high) availability and reliability of equipment and systems when they are needed. In
the maintenance and reliability (M&R) field, professionals are constantly challenged

to implement the best way to ensure equipment is available as and when it is needed
at a reasonable cost. These are called "best practices." But it is not as simple as
putting something into effect. To truly realize a best practice requires learning, re-
learning, benchmarking and implementing better ways of ensuring high reliability and
availability of equipment and systems.
Excerpt Ultrasonic inspection and monitoring of bearings is a reliable method for detecting
incipient bearing failure. The ultrasonic warning appears prior to a rise in temperature
or an increase in driving torque. Ultrasonic inspection of bearings is useful in
recognizing the beginning of fatigue failure, brinnelling of bearing surfaces, flooding
of (or lack) of lubricant. In ball bearings, as the metal in the raceway, roller, or
bearing balls begins to fatigue, a subtle deformation begins to occur. This deforming
of the metal will produce an increase in the emission of ultrasonic waves.
