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.
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.
