Contamination Sensor CS 2000 series

The CS 2000 Contamination Sensor series is designed for continuous use in test stands/rigs, lubrication systems and critical hydraulic systems in which dynamic trending of solid contaminants is required. At the heart of this sensor developed for stationary use is the field-tested, patented sensor technology of the FCU 2000 series. Key features (depending on version): Contamination classification according to ISO 4406, SAE 4059 and NAS 1638 Combined hydraulic and electronic compensation of pressure and viscosity fluctuations Continuous self-diagnosis Analog output (4 – 20 mA) or digital output bus (RS 485) PLC output Relay outputs (ready, warning, alarm) RS 232 interface for ISO code display ISO code display available as an option Analysis enabled via HYDAC's own CoCoS software or customer's customised software Can be calibrated according to ISO 11943 or 4402

Aqua Sensor

The AquaSensors enable the continuous monitoring of the water content of hydraulic and lubrication fluids. The water content relative to the saturation concentration is measured via the saturation level. Once it reaches 100 % (saturation point) the fluid cannot absorb any more water.

Consequently, the water content should be maintained substantially below the saturation point. HYDAC recommends a saturation level of less than 45 % in all systems.

Key features (depending on version):

  • Measurement of saturation level and temperature
  • Measurement possible regardless of oil type, age and temperature
  • Display of the measured values via integral LCD
  • Relay outputs for temperature and saturation level 4 - 20 mA output signal
  • Bus interface via RS485 Simple on-site calibration possible

WaterTest Kit WTK

The Water Test Kit is used for the quantitative analysis of water content in percent by volume of mineral and lubricating oils.

Adding two reagents to the contaminated oil causes an increase in pressure in the measuring cell.

This pressure increase can be read off the digital display as water content in percent by volume or ppm.

Measurement ranges selectable: 0.02...1 %; 0...10 %: 0...20 % and 200...10,000 ppm

Fluid Analysis Set FAS

Fluid Analysis Set featuring an electric vacuum pump and filtration unit to laboratory standard the Fluid Analysis Set (FAS) is used to produce contamination monitors from oil samples. The reference photographs enable a quick evaluation of fluid contamination (cleanliness class rating). A microscope (not supplied) can be used to determine the type of particle and thus its origin in the hydraulic system. Precision scales (not supplied) can be used to determine the gravimetric contamination content of the fluid.

Measuring Microscope MM-KKE

Measuring Microscope The microscope is mainly used to display and measure particles on filter membranes of oil samples. Focussing is achieved using the coarse and fine adjustment knobs.

Optical equipment: achromatic lenses with 4:1; 10:1 and 20:1 magnification. The lenses are mounted on a rotating holder.

A CCD colour camera system is available for image processing on a PC.

Fluid Sampling Set FES

Sampling Systems Taking samples in a correct and consistent manner is key to obtaining representative results when these samples are later analysed in the laboratory. Whether you require static or dynamic sampling, HYDAC's Fluid Sampling Set (FES) provides the right tool for the job.

The static sampler is used for taking samples from system tanks. By creating a vacuum in the precleaned sample bottle, the fluid is extracted at the required tank level. For a representative investigation of stray particles in the hydraulic system dynamic sampling is preferred. The required sample volume is taken from a pressure line.

Automated Lab Particle Counter ALPC 9000 series

Automated Lab Particle Counter ALPC 9000 series The ALPC is a fully automated laboratory particle measuring system for hydraulic and lubrication oils. Shortest cycle times enable up to 500 samples a day to be processed. Key features: Automated, controlled measurement and flushing cycles Sample analysis performed quickly thanks to extremely short cycle times Reproducible measurement results guaranteed when performing repeat measurements Only small sample quantities required (approx. 50 ml) Operation and graphical analysis of measured results made user-friendly due to ALPC Desk software Calibrated according to ISO 11171 and 4402 Automated sample feeding via 6-axis robot arm, available as an option

CoCoS Professional software for the FCU and CS

CoCoS Professional enables the FCU and CS to be operated in a user-friendly environment. Measurement values can be displayed online in table or graph format. Measurement logs can be transferred and processed.

In addition, long-term analyses can be performed and professional reports created. When combined with the FCU and CS, CoCoS provides an efficient tool for the continuous monitoring of fluid quality.

Contamination Test Unit CTU 2000 series

HYDAC's CTU is a specially designed test stand for analysing the surface cleanliness of components. These components undergo rinsing in a defined clean environment using an analysis fluid with a defined cleanliness. The findings produced by evaluating the analysis fluid provide information on the type, size and mass of contamination. These findings are the basic prerequisite for detecting damage and thus introducing countermeasures to the process chain in good time (e.g. improved filtration, transportation, storage, etc.). Applications: In areas with stringent quality requirements, eg.: Automotive manufacture Automotive suppliers Gear manufacture Engine manufacture Hydraulic and lubrication systems For comprehensive information on component cleanliness, refer to HYDAC's manual entitled "Contamination Management in Practice" (order no. (en): 3152081).
