Product news

Only a properly lubricated bearing runs safely and with low wear. This means that the metallic contact partners within the bearing are separated from each other at all times by a fully formed lubricating film. Insufficient lubrication results in direct contact, which causes the bearing to wear quickly and leads to damage. However, over-lubrication leads to high friction losses.
Enable your customers to operate their machines at the optimum level and open up new business models. Provide reliable machine monitoring to reduce maintenance and energy costs.
HCP Sense technology provides a clear view
The bearings of a machine are usually the essential components for maintenance and service life. Your customers are currently still investing a lot of money in third-party companies that deal with monitoring. Integrate the latest bearing monitoring technology and secure additional revenue.
Unfortunately, the lubrication condition cannot be adequately monitored with conventional technology; the user does not know what the dominant lubrication condition is. The sensor bearing from HCP Sense provides permanent information on lubrication for the first time and enables continuous monitoring.
With our impedance measurement, the electrical behaviour of the rolling bearing can be monitored live on the machine. In the case of fluid friction, when a fully formed lubricating film is present and the metallic surfaces are separated, the bearing behaves like a capacitor from an electrical point of view. This is not the case with mixed and boundary friction; there is metallic contact and the bearing exhibits ohmic behaviour as with an electrical resistor.
The advantages of our technology
Detect and prevent damage at an early stage: Over 80% of all rolling bearing damage can be traced back to lubrication failure. With our technology, you can recognise these lubrication problems so early that you can take countermeasures before increased wear leads to bearing damage.
Increase productivity: The integration of our technology into your maintenance management - keyword predictive maintenance - increases productivity because you can extend maintenance intervals or even plan them with agility and avoid the particularly feared unplanned breakdowns.
Increase your profits through increased productivity and reduced maintenance costs.
HCP Sense LubeSecure sensors
You can achieve all this by mounting the HCP Sense sensor ring between the bearings and receiving the data on the condition of the lubrication and the bearing directly without a teach-in phase. The sensor can be adapted to your installation space and shaft diameter, customized, to digitalise your machine.
