This paper presents a technique that utilizes ultrasonic puls-echo method to determine insufficient lubrication in static mechanical components and assemblies. Due to prolong static in-operation of such systems as spring actuated circuit breakers (CB) the lubricants/grease in the actuation mechanism...
