Oil Debris Sensor

The oil debris sensor is designed to replace a conventional magnetic oil plug or sump plug in either engine or transmission applications. The sensor is a dual channel device that can detect not only the quantity but the type of metallic debris build-up in the oil.

The sensor works by attracting metallic debris to the face of the sensor (much like a conventional metallic plug) and measuring the particle build-up via remote electronics. One output channel provides data concerning very fine particle build-up, and the second will provide data concerning the build-up of larger metallic objects (often resulting from a mechanical failure within the engine or gearbox).

The dual-channel signal output will provide the user with dynamic 'health check' of the engine or transmission, eliminating unnecessary strip-downs and saving time, especially in locations where access is difficult.
