Welcome to Tribosonics Ltd
Tribosonics Ltd has developed a wide range of signal processing technologies to extract information from ultrasonic pulses reflected from machine elements. Combining our range of sensing technology with embedded signal processing on our ultrasonic hardware presents some exciting new monitoring solutions.

The company was originally set up to develop lubricant film thickness measurement technology but has now diversified into a wide range of applications all involving the use of ultrasonics. We currently manufacture, supply and install high end ultrasonic measurement systems to some of the biggest engineering organisations worldwide. We are a company with solutions looking for problems so why not get in touch to explore how we can help you.

‘Tribosonics’
The name Tribosonics comes from the combination of Tribology and Ultrasonics. Tribology is the study of friction, wear and lubrication and comes from the Greek ‘tribos’ meaning rubbing. Ultrasonic techniques have been used for many years as a non-destructive technique for analysing and monitoring mechanical components. Tribosonics is the combination of these areas of engineering to develop a set of powerful techniques for monitoring, measuring and investigating a wide range of real world engineering applications.
