Wear debris and liquid level sensors for off-highways and construction applications
- Oil condition sensors identify early wear in gearboxes and transmissions - Heavy earth moving equipment such as dump trucks, bulldozers or other specialist vehicles endure high loading and prolonged exposure to harsh environments. All need to run reliably and perform optimally in order to deliver against tight construction timetables. Oil condition sensors fitted into the engine systems provide real-time monitoring of engine condition and alert to unusual wear in gearboxes and transmission systems allowing timely maintenance scheduling.
- Position sensors provide information to monitor break wear and other systems - Heavy earth moving equipment such as dump trucks, bulldozers or other specialist vehicles endure high loading and prolonged exposure to harsh environments. All need to run reliably and perform optimally in order to deliver against tight construction timetables. Non-contact position sensors are used to define and update accurate relative positions of mechanical components even in harsh environmental conditions. Non-contact position sensors can be used to convey steering position, position of suspension components, cab angle and brake condition.
- Real-time monitoring of wear in remote crane gearboxes increases efficiency - Gearboxes built into cranes withstand heavy loads and work in arduous conditions, often subject to the elements. Gear wear sensors are used to track wear rates within the equipment, reporting normal and abnormal wear levels for subsequent analysis and action.
