Oil analysis plus vibration monitoring

Schaeffler’s FAG Wear Debris Check oil monitoring system indicates damage or wear to bearings, cages and gears within a gearbox or other industrial gear unit. The system requires no calibration and is suitable for use in almost every industry sector.

The system’s oil monitor works by using an inductive particle counter (sensor), which is able to distinguish between ferrous and non-ferrous metal particles that are present in the lubricating oil. On a typical gearbox application, the particle counter or sensor is installed in the oil flow, directly before the oil filter, or as a separate circuit.

In addition, the FAG Wear Debris Check can be set up to operate with online condition monitoring systems, including Schaeffler's FAG WiPro s, a system dedicated to the condition monitoring of wind turbines.
