Hydac Filter Systems MetallicContamination Sensor MCS 1000

Thursday, 06 March, 2014 | Supplied by: HYDAC International


The MetallicContamination Sensor MCS 1000 is used for recording metallic solid particle contamination in lubrication fluids. The particles are determined in accordance with the inductive measurement procedure, whereby a coil system forms the core of the sensor. Metallic particles (ferromagnetic Fe and non-ferromagnetic nFe) in the >70 μm size range are detected.

The product is used for the continuous status monitoring of the system and sheds light on imminent damage. Applications include gear units in wind power plants, monitoring of large-size gearboxes (marine gearboxes; gearboxes of stationary and mobile hydraulics) and test rigs. It is thus suitable for status-oriented maintenance.

The product complements optical sensors, providing early detection of impending damage to gears and avoidance of system breakdowns. The measurement result is not affected by air bubbles or liquid contamination in the liquid. Condition monitoring systems in wind power plants which have already been certified do not lose their certification if the product is built into the system.
