Ideal for applications ranging from gearboxes and engines to power generators, compressors and other oil filled heavy plant and equipment, the ANALEXrs range of sensors improve the overall analysis process, allowing for accurate trending through more consistent and frequent measurements, which can only result in a more profitable proactive maintenance strategy.

Speaking at their recent Distributor conference, Chris Leigh-Jones, Managing Director, said “Remote online sensor technology is the way forward in the 21st Century. With the emphasis on machine reliability as part of Lean Manufacturing, the new ANALEXrs range will put lubricant and machine condition information in the hands of the engineer, real-time. Remote online sensors improve the overall analysis process, allowing for accurate trending through more consistent and frequent measurements, which can only result in a more profitable proactive maintenance strategy.” He added, “The technology would reduce the safety and environmental hazards associated with sampling in many applications, as well as benefiting many remote sites where the logistics of shipping samples is frequently a non-starter.”

With regard to the specification, he pointed out that, “With self-diagnosing digital and analogue outputs, the new sensors can be easily integrated into existing Condition Monitoring and operating control systems. That has to be a benefit to users with high capital cost systems, and especially to large volume lubricant users. The OEM industry would also benefit where the focus is to minimise warranty issues. The sensors go beyond the normal protection devices, and enhance the root-cause monitoring approach to reliability.”

The sensors include Total Ferrous Wear Debris , Particle Content , Moisture and Oil Condition - For more information on the ANALEXrs range click the individual links above
