Particle contamination in Oils
Particle contamination is the main cause of breakdowns in hydraulic and lubrication oil systems. Continuous real-time particle counting therefore plays a vital role in condition-based maintenance. With real-time measurement systems like, the number and size of particles is determined with the aid of optical detectors

Contamination Sensor CS 1000.
The brand new Contamination Sensor CS 1000 is a cost-effective online particle sensor which is suitable for permanent installation in almost all lubrication oil and hydraulic systems.

• ISO4406 (1999/1987), NAS 1638, SAE AS 4059
• Outputs: 4 ... 20 mA, 0 ... 10 V, RS 485, HSI, switching output, HSI
• Operating range: 0 ... 300 bar, 0 ... 85°C

The Contamination Sensor CS 1000 is an online fluid sensor for continuous monitoring of particle contamination in fluids. The cleanliness results can either be given according to ISO/SAE or ISO/NAS classifications. This instrument combines the latest materials and technologies with proven engineering and provides the user with a compact and robust stationary sensor. The attractive price-performance ratio makes it especially advantageous in OEM applications for condition monitoring.

Applications

• Industrial hydraulic and lubrication systems
• Mobile hydraulics

Technicalities

• When a revolving laser beam that passes through the walls of a glass container or a flow-through cell; is directed through a central “sensitive zone”
• The CS 1000 counts the particles in suspension and tabulates their size
• The analogue signals generated by the light pulses are routed to a computer and digitized
• Provide efficient calibration within 10 minutes

Advantages

• As an option, can be switched between ISO 4406:1999 / SAE AS 4059 and ISO 4406:1987 / NAS 1638
• Critical machine conditions are identified in good time
• Continuous oil condition monitoring
• Condition-based maintenance planning
