Field case · Condition monitoring
Lubrication by condition: the bearing waveform before and after, on a maker-schedule bearing
Quick answer
A bearing kept on the maker's time-based greasing schedule still had high vibration. Re-lubricating by condition brought the time waveform down to a fraction of its former level.

Takeaway. Grease by condition. Measure before and after, and keep the pair of waveforms.
