Remote Sensors - the online link between your machines and ultimate reliability

Sensors provide 'real-time' monitoring of machinery lubricating oil, preventing the need for expensive routine maintenance.

Kittiwake Sensors can be fitted on any machine with a circulating lubrication system, and where either ferrous or non ferrous wear debris is a predominant measure of the wear rate. Alternatively, use the range on a filter cartridge to assess condition of splash lubricated machines.

Examples include equipment such as:

Engines
Gearboxes & Transmissions
Bearings
Pumps
Compressors
Turbines



Below: The sensor head is available with variable reach for thick walled casings and pipes.

Oil Condition Sensor

Oil Condition Sensor FG-K14492-KW



Changing oil costs money! Without a doubt, you’re running a high quality predictative maintenance programme. Today’s lubricants are better quality than ever before. And sticking to old service schedules is expensive. Did you know that what you pay for the oil could escalate by a factor of 5 times or more Changing oil costs money. Inventory costs, administrative costs, HSE risk-based costs, environmental costs... these all add up.

But extending oil service life isn’t guesswork. Whilst lubricants perform better, you know they are still at risk from changing operating and environmental conditions. That’s why your oil analysis service includes an oil condition feedback. It helps you detect when your oil may no longer be fit for service, possibly even pinpointing a contaminant or machine fault as the cause.

But how frequently are you sampling? What if a problem arises
between scheduled samples? Wouldn’t it make sense to be monitoring more frequently? Well now you can. The Oil Condition range of online sensors puts your oil analysis laboratory on your doorstep.

The Oil Condition Sensor goes beyond the normal handheld field go/no-go units to offer permanent mounting. Providing both a check on water ingress and oxidation levels, now you can monitor real-time. And take immediate action on the first indication of change before any harm is done to the machine or even the oil. The Oil Condition Sensor goes beyond the normal protection systems; it monitors the root cause of lubricant and machine failure.

The oil condition Sensor can be mounted within any
lubrication system on any type of machine. The sensor detects changes caused by water and acid levels, using a combination of proven dielectric sensing, combined with smart algorithms to provide a trend. Kittiwake Sensors put you in control. You know exactly when to change the oil based on condition, not on historical schedules.

With its digital and analogue outputs, it can be easily integrated
into your existing Condition Monitoring and operating control
systems. Whether it’s to check on the health of the lubricant, or
an alert of changing contaminant ingression, the Oil
Condition Sensor provides instant information, complementing
your existing laboratory oil analysis programme, and helping you
make informed maintenance planning decisions.
