The Pocket Lube is not something they seem to promote heavily. In fact it was the last link on one of the major links. So I had to dig around a bit before I came to it.
But the concept is brilliant. I am not sure if this is new or if there are others out there but it really impressed me as a very innovative way to apply existing technologies.
It seems to work like this. The main input is a noise sensor. (Not ultrasonics as I read it, but a noise sensor.)
This is used prior to greasing, during greasing and after greasing. The difference in noise levels (presumably) has then been used to determine the right level of lubrication, the lube type and points, as well as trending issues like lubrication usage and providing optimized lubrication routes etcetera.
I think that is pretty cool, and pretty innovative. Gadgets tend to be VA, Thermography or calculators of some kind. This one was right off the wall.
When people start dealing with the complexities associated with lubrication routines they invariably refer to the manufacturers guides. Virtually nobody, or very few people, actually have a good enough understanding in this area to know if this the right lube for this application of this asset? Is the frequency right? How much should we apply and how much are we actually using?
Great little product, incredibly under marketed by the product manufacturer, and something that could quickly help companies to make a big difference.
Have you ever heard of anything similar?
