LUBEChecker

A precision ultrasound tool for optimal bearing lubrication

Starting at:

$2,795

The LUBEChecker is SDT’s purpose-built ultrasound solution for precision lubrication. It removes the guesswork from greasing by letting you hear friction changes as you apply grease. Each bearing gets the right amount, at the right time.

Simple, accurate, and cost-effective, LUBEChecker helps operators and maintenance teams reduce friction, extend bearing life, save energy and reduce grease waste through better lubrication practices.

LUBEChecker measures friction in real time. You stop greasing the moment optimal conditions are reached. This prevents over-lubrication, reduces friction, and keeps bearings running cooler and longer.

Not much. It’s intuitive and ready to use out of the box. For anyone who wants to go deeper, free self-paced training is available through SDT.training, covering ultrasound fundamentals and lubrication best practices.

Yes. Every LUBEChecker is backed by SDT’s lifetime warranty. It’s a one-time investment built to last and supported for life. 

Why Work with SDT

Easy to Use
Every Checker is designed for simplicity. Operators can start inspecting or lubricating right out of the box. And when they want to learn more, free self-paced training at SDT.training helps them build skill and confidence at their own pace. 
Fast ROI
Each tool pays for itself quickly, often after identifying a single leak, lubrication issue, or bearing defect. That’s real savings you can measure in weeks, not months. 
Lifetime Warranty
SDT instruments are built to last. Every Checker is covered by our lifetime warranty, giving you peace of mind that your investment will perform reliably for years to come. 

Operator-Driven Lubrication

Operator-Driven Lubrication (ODL) is a key part of SDT’s Operator-Driven Safety and Reliability (ODSR) approach. It gives front-line operators the tools and confidence to maintain bearing health during their daily rounds. 

When operators take ownership of lubrication, maintenance becomes proactive, not reactive. It’s a simple shift with a big impact on reliability and sustainability. 

Benefits of an ODL Approach to Machinery Lubrication 

Maintain ideal friction levels, reduce wear, and extend service life.

Get real-time feedback as you grease, protecting seals and saving grease.

Properly lubricated bearings draw less power and run cooler, lowering energy use and emissions.

LUBEChecker gives operators clear, immediate feedback so they can grease with precision and purpose.

Less waste, lower energy use, and longer-lasting equipment all contribute to a more efficient, responsible operation.
