Abstract
In one embodiment, the disclosed method for lubricating a machine bearing system includes monitoring a bearing system using a vibration sensor, such as an accelerometer, receiving a signal from the vibration sensor, calculating a parameter based on the signal; and adding a lubricant to the bearing system based upon the parameter. In another embodiment, a system may include a vibration sensor, a monitor configured to receive a signal from the vibration sensor and calculate a spike energy value, and a lubrication device configured to add a lubricant to a bearing system based on the spike energy value. The system and method help reduce maintenance and repair costs, while prolonging the life of the machine system components being monitored.
