Oil Condition Sensors

The ability to monitor the condition of engine and transmission oil can provide engineers with valuable data that will not only save time and reduce unnecessary strip-downs and oil changes, but can also help to prevent catastrophic engine or transmission failure.

We have developed two products for this specific purpose:

The oil quality sensor will monitor changes in the properties of the oil, with an indicated oil quality value (set against an initial calibrated 'clean' reference value).

The oil debris sensor will detect the quantity and type of metallic debris build-up in the oil. Fine metallic build-up is expected in most engine and transmission applications, however larger debris build up may indicate a mechanical failure. This sensor will indicate the presence of both types of debris on separate channels, helping to diagnose a potential problem before catastrophic failure occurs.
