OilAnalyzer: Digital Intelligence for Predictive Oil Maintenance
Oil condition is critical to the performance and availability of industrial assets. Traditional methods — lab testing and fixed-interval oil changes — often lead to unnecessary costs, fluid waste, and avoidable equipment failures.
OilAnalyzer is FUCHS’ digital solution for real-time oil monitoring, directly integrated into your equipment. It detects issues early, prevents unplanned downtime, and extends the life of both oil and machinery. It is designed to monitor a wide range of industrial fluids, ensuring optimal performance and early detection of degradation or contamination. The sensor is compatible with gear oils, hydraulic oils, compressor oils, motor oils, and even immersion cooling fluids, making it a versatile solution for various applications across industries.
What does OilAnalyzer bring to your operations?
Predictive Maintenance: Prevent failures before they happen.
Reduced Costs: Optimize oil change intervals and extend equipment life.
Sustainability: Minimize fluid waste and environmental impact.
Operational Efficiency: Centralized data - faster, smarter decisions.
Scalable Integration: Works across fleets, production lines, and remote assets.
How does it work?
The Digital Solution OilAnalyzer consists of two components:
OilAnalyzer Sensor
The OilAnalyzer sensor enables real-time, in-line monitoring of oil condition across a wide range of applications and continuously measures conductance and capacitance to calculate the patented Loss Factor, a key indicator of oil degradation. With exceptional sensitivity, it detects contamination, allowing for early identification of wear and potential failures. This continuous data stream empowers predictive maintenance and helps extend the life of both oil and equipment.
- Continuous, second-by-second oil condition monitoring
- Detects wear, contamination, and degradation instantly
- Enables predictive maintenance and reduces downtime
