Why Bearing Health Drives Your Uptime
Bearings are the unsung heroes of your equipment, yet they are one of the most common roots of unexpected failures. From misalignment to improper lubrication, human error and operating conditions can shorten bearing life from years to mere months.
​
At PTI, we make bearing health visible so you retain control of maintenance windows, spare parts planning, and production uptime.
What Ultrasonic Bearing Testing Reveals
Traditional vibration or thermal monitoring often detects damage once it’s already occurring. Ultrasonic testing goes deeper - capturing high-frequency signals and signs of defect formation long before full-scale failure.
With our service, you will:
Detect under- or over-lubrication conditions early.
Assess slow-moving or intermittently loaded bearings.
Identify imbalances or misalignments that accelerate degradation.
Every finding is charted, recorded, and delivered in a secure online report so you can act decisively.
Why Ultrasonic Testing Leads the Curve
From Early Detection to Planned Action
Early detection is everything. Ultrasonic bearing testing identifies defects long before vibration or infrared methods can detect a problem — giving you time to plan maintenance, coordinate labor, and order parts before downtime occurs.
​
Unlike vibration analysis, which often detects wear only once damage has already begun, ultrasonics captures the earliest acoustic signatures of stress and friction. This proactive insight allows you to act while bearings are still serviceable, extending equipment life and improving reliability metrics.
Ultrasonic analysis detects failure conditions in their earliest phase — before vibration, infrared, or human senses can identify a change.
