• Particle content sensor

Real-time measurements From multiple locations

With flexible output options
ANALEXrs Particle Content Sensor

Measurement Principle
• Magnitude and direction of magnetic flux measured as metallic particles move
through a magnetic field
• Metallic particles passing through a magnetic field cause a spike in the field
• The number of spikes, their magnitude and direction are translated into particle type,
size and count
• Unique, patented technology
• Rugged & IP65 rated
• Flow 1.3 to 21 l/min

Performance
• Detects:
• >40µm (Fe)
• >120µm (Metallic Non-Fe)
• -20°C to 80°C (oil temp)

Particle Size Validation

• “Worst Case” Sperical Particles Tested

Particle “Thin Edge” through field = Hardest Detection

Steel Gear and Bearing Wear Particles

(Mag. X200)

Particle “Thick Edge” through field = Easiest Detection

Spherical Particles give Worst Case.
