The Portamonitor™ aids in the identification of mechanically deteriorated bearings and bearings with inadequate/contaminated lubricant. It does this by detecting high frequency (ultrasonic) stress waves associated with friction and other faults with machinery in poor condition (impacts etc.).
It can be used to monitor bearings in motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes and other rotating machinery applications.
It has two outputs – a decibel (dB) reading and a Distress® level which are both measured and displayed simultaneously by the Portamonitor™.
Here is an example of the Portamonitor™ being used to monitor the bearings in a pump:
