Condition monitoring of gearbox lubricants and compressor lubricants is an established method of predicting and avoiding impending machinery breakdown. By monitoring Wear Debris Metal Particles, worn parts can be identified early and replaced before any serious damage occurs. In this way, production can be maintained, machinery life extended and the return on capital investment increased.

The ANALEXpqF Metal Particle Debris Analysis Monitor is a manually operated ferrous debris monitor designed to detect metal particles in the oil or grease samples taken from lubricated machinery.  An adaption of our leading range of laboratory equipment, the pqF is specially designed for use in the field, this unit is ideal for testing and analysing oil samples on-site or in remote locations where full laboratory analysis is not possible.

Analex Ferrous Wear Debris Monitors are constructed using sophisticated dual-coil magnetometers for greater measurement accuracy and sensitivity. A sample of oil containing ferromagnetic particles is placed upon the sensor, thus altering the balance between the coils. The resulting 'out-of-balance' signal is amplified, filtered and displayed as a PQ Index, which relates directly to the mass of the ferromagnetic debris in the sample. Samples may be presented for analysis in a variety of media.  Automatic recalibration is performed between each sample measurement. Data from each test is stored in the internal memory, which may then be transferred to a database on a host PC via an RS232 interface.

Features

• Supplied ready for use in a protective, portable carrying case, suitable for testing on-site in remote locations.
• All data stored is stored in the internal memory for later analysis and download.
• Automatic recalibration between measurements for highly accurate results.
