Oil debris sensors, continuously monitoring ferrous wear
- Earliest maintenance warnings protect critical assets
- Easy to install and straightforward to interpret results
- Reduces unplanned downtime
- Data platform option provides alerts and data visualisation
WearDetect oil debris sensors have been proven in use by world-leading manufacturers, to provide the earliest warning of the initial stages of machine failure. WearDetect is primarily used in oil based systems, such as gearboxes, across manufacturing and also by operators of critical and remote equipment. WearDetect can be used for stand-alone measurement, integrated into a larger PLC or SCADA system or used with Gill’s IoT platform for data collection, visualisation and alerts.
Key Features
- Real-time, continuous condition monitoring
- Captures and measures both fine & coarse ferrous wear debris
- Proven high return on investment by minimising unplanned downtime
- WearDetect sensor data can be used to predict and schedule maintenance actions
- Oil temperature or water presence measurement
- No expert knowledge or training required to interpret results
- Multiple thread adaptor options for easy installation
- Data platform option provides insight into equipment health, straight to your device
Typical Applications
- Wind turbine condition monitoring
- Automotive manufacturing
- Industrial processes including paper & chemicals
- Conveyor drives within distribution facilities
- Condition monitoring in mining industries
- Crane gearbox monitoring

WearDetect, oil debris sensors for continuous ferrous wear monitoring - more details
Designed & Manufactured by Gill Sensors & Controls in the UK, WearDetect oil debris sensors provide condition based monitoring that protects critical rotating assets by directly measuring ferrous wear within the equipment.
WearDetect provides an earlier view of wear trends in vital equipment. The sensor replaces the existing drain plug and wires into your existing PLC or SCADA system or Gill’s IoT platform. Alternatively, an ‘inflow’ adaptor arrangement can be used to install the sensor in the oil flow line, before any filters. The sensor captures and measures fine wear and coarse failure ferrous particles in order to allow machine wear trend insights.
Output protocol options for WearDetect include digital outputs (Modbus and CAN) or analogue outputs (0-10V or 4-20mA). There is also a local visual alarm option. The sensors are designed to suit most data collection devices such as dataloggers, PLCs and ECUs as well as Gill’s own IoT data platform.
WearDetect sensors have no moving parts and as a result are extremely reliable and accurate.

ACCESSORIES
WearDetect Accessories
WearDetect oil debris sensors can be supported by accessories to assist with specific installation requirements.
WearDetect thread adaptors
Gill offer a range of thread adaptors for metric, NPT, BSP & UNF drain port types. Plug the WearDetect sensor into the sump using the relevant adaptor.
Inflow adaptor kit
An ‘inflow’ adaptor kit can be constructed using standard components to allow the WearDetect oil debris sensor head to be installed at a convenient position within the lubrication bypass circuit of the equipment. The inclusion of valves facilitates easy sensor inspection with minimal oil loss.

Continuous oil debris monitoring – why the world’s largest manufacturers have taken it on board.
This webinar provides information on continuous oil debris monitoring as an effective addition to a condition based monitoring (CBM) portfolio. This new approach to CBM allows earlier awareness of mechanical damage and maintenance needs, especially in scenarios such as variable load gearboxes and low speed systems where other techniques struggle to identify problems before it’s too late.

WEBINAR: Predicting asset failures sooner in automotive manufacturing lines
Wear debris monitoring in machinery lubricants is becoming a key part of condition based monitoring (CBM) in automotive production environments.
This webinar provides information on how continuous oil debris monitoring is being used in automotive production to provide earlier awareness of equipment wear and maintenance needs especially in assets such as conveyor gearboxes and machine tool multi-spindle gearboxes, where other techniques struggle to identify problems in time for corrective action.
