With the FluidIX Lub-VDT, we are expanding our product range to include a compact condition monitoring sensor for inline monitoring of mechanical fluid properties (density, viscosity & temperature).
The sensor is designed for use with mineral oils & synthetic oils and is therefore particularly suitable for inline oil analysis in predictive maintenance and servicing strategies.
Even at low flow rates, the LUB-VDT detects the viscosity, temperature and mass density of the surrounding medium with high measurement accuracy. The precise and high-quality measurement data provided by the oil condition sensor is due to the unique measuring principle of the FluidIX Lub-VDT: a robust and reliable quartz crystal tuning fork resonator that achieves excellent data quality even under changing process conditions (pressure, temperature, flow rate) due to the high measuring rate.
The screw-in sensor can be easily and cost-effectively integrated into new machines and existing systems (retrofitting). This is ensured by the compact dimensions of just 95 mm in length and 30 mm in diameter as well as the standardised process connection. These features make the oil condition sensor ideal for mobile machines and industrial automation.
The measurement signals are evaluated via digital and analogue interfaces. In addition to two programmable 4...20mA signal outputs, Modbus RTU is also available.
Configuring the oil sensor with PC software
The sensor is configured using the USB kit and the associated PC software. The software also displays live measurement data. The sensor is connected to the PC via a USB kit that converts the ModBus RTU signals to USB.
