Acoustic/Ultrasonic Lubrication Monitoring

(OP)
Is anyone using the Grease Caddy from UE Systems, the Ultra-Lube from UVLM or SDT's grease gun adapter to monitor bearings while greasing them? Have you noticed any difference in lube quantities actually required or found a defect not yet picked up from vibration?

These devices are good for determing that the bearing has been properly lubed, but will not replace vibration analysis in determining faults.

Thanks for the info, Dave.
