Particle Content Sensor FG-K16121-KW
Machine Wear Costs Money! Without a doubt, you’re running a high quality preventative maintenance programme. You probably already know that machines give telltale indicators of potential problems. Any change in the wear pattern is going to result in changes in the wear debris levels. That’s why your oil analysis service includes a Spectrometric Analysis and ferrous density (PQ) result.
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 ANALEXrs range of online sensors puts your oil analysis laboratory on your doorstep.
The ANALEXrs Particle Content Sensor goes beyond the normal
wear debris sensors to offer even greater size resolution. Providing a debris count for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, now you can monitor real-time. And take immediate action on the first indication of change. It goes beyond the normal protection systems; it prevents failure, not just catastrophic failure.
The ANALEXrs Particle Content Sensor can be mounted within any lubrication system on any type of machine. The sensor measures ferrous and non-ferrous metals, resulting from the wear debris within the lubricant, using a combination of proven inductive coil technology, combined with smart algorithms to provide a particle size distribution count. And that puts you in control. You know that the more severe the wear problem, the more that the machine produces larger wear debris particulate.
With its digital and analogue outputs, it can be easily integrated into your existing Condition Monitoring and operating control systems. ANALEXrs puts you in control. Whether it’s to check on the health of the machine, or an alert of changing wear patterns, the ANALEXrs Particle Content sensor provides instant information, complementing your existing laboratory oil analysis programme, and helping you make informed maintenance planning decisions.
