How does detection of metallic particle contamination take place with HYDAC’s Metallic Contamination Sensor MCS 1000?

HYDAC’s Metallic Contamination Sensor MCS 1000 detects particles via inductive measurement whereby a coil system forms the core element of the sensor. Ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metallic particles are detected in the > 200µm and 400μm size range respectively.

What applications is HYDAC’s Metallic Contamination Sensor MCS 1000 suitable for?

HYDAC’s Metallic Contamination Sensor MCS 1000 is suitable for monitoring transmissions in stationary and mobile hydraulics and testing facilities as well as power plants.

What stands out about HYDAC’s Metallic Contamination Sensor MCS 1000?

HYDAC’s Metallic Contamination Sensor MCS 1000 has a flow rate of 10 ... 200 l/min; a 20-bar maximum operating pressure; an optimal supplement for optical sensors; and simple integration of the sensor through availability of different adapters.As an option the series can have an Ethernet interface, which means possible and easy connection of the sensors to existing networks.

Details

The Metallic Contamination Sensor MCS 1000 monitors metallic particle contamination in lubrication fluid. Indeed, it detects the particles by inductive measurement in which a coil system is the core element of the sensor.

Furthermore, it detects metallic particles (ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic) in the > 100 µm size range. The MCS 1000 continuously monitors the condition of the system and provides information on any early-stage damage. The sensor is, therefore, a reliable tool for condition-based maintenance.

What's more, it possesses certification from Germanischer Lloyd Industrial Service.

Features:

An early detection of impending damage to gears
It prevents costly plant downtime
It is also the perfect complement to optical sensors
The measurement of metallic particles (ferromagnetic Fe and nonferromagnetic nFe) > 100 µm
The air bubbles or liquid contamination in the fluid don't affect the measurement result
Moreover, the condition monitoring systems in wind power plants with GL certifications don't lose it. Indeed, the component itself has certification; so, if the MCS 1000 is built into the system after certification, it will keep it.

Specifications:

Flow rate: 10 ... 200 l/min
Operating pressure: max. 20 bar
A simple integration of the sensor in the system through the availability of different adapters.
