Gearbox condition monitoring

16 June 2016

Gill Sensors & Controls has taken the technology from its first generation Oil Debris Sensors to produce an advanced device that alerts machine operators of debris in the oil at the earliest possible stage to prevent mechanical failure and avoid costly downtime.

“The Condition Monitoring Sensor has numerous advantages over other monitoring approaches due to its continuous, real-time data,” says Simon Peaty, product manager at Gill. “It will detect failure parts at a much earlier stage than vibration sensors. It also eliminates the lengthy training required to remove the natural gearbox vibration from the data captured from the vibration sensor.

"Furthermore because of the continuous nature of the Condition Monitoring Sensor, data is transmitted in seconds making it much faster than laboratory analysis.”
