New oil condition monitor from ifm electronic
Water in an oil system can mean trouble. Leading to corrosion, ineffective lubrication, friction and eventually serious damage. So it is good news that sensor market leader ifm electronic now offers a new diagnostic tool in the form of a solid-state oil condition monitor. (Read More)
The new LDH monitor will detect water contamination and indicate the relative percentage of moisture content via the analogue output. This allows an external alarm to set if the water content gets too high, and will also provide data for trending over a period of operation.
Oil temperature is of course also a commonly-measured parameter, and the LDH will also measure this in parallel to the water content and signal this on a second 4 to 20mA output; two devices combined as one.
The LDH will operate over a wide range of oil temperatures, from –20 to 120 °C from a standard DC power supply (9 to 33V).
ifm is committed to working closely with its customers to develop products which precisely match their needs, and the company provides expert, readily accessible technical support to help users maximise the benefits they gain from ifm products.
