Your benefits

Simple and fast
sensing and reading of the oil temperature and its remaining service life.

Reliable
warning messages issued if the predefined limit values, such as max. oil temperature, are exceeded.

Individually planned
maintenance intervals allow optimum utilisation of oil service life and reduce maintenance costs.

Keeping an eye on the remaining service life of your oil

The DUO (Diagnostic Unit Oil aging) diagnostic unit carries out a thermal analysis on your gear unit oil. A thermal sensor measures the oil temperature and sends this information to an evaluation unit, which then calculates the time remaining service life for the specified oil type.

All you need to do is define the limit values so that DUO can send you a warning message when they are exceeded. In practice, this means that you can keep an eye on the remaining oil service life – and thus the performance – of your mechanical drive technology at all times.

Diagnostic units are the perfect partner to our gear units. They help to monitor the remaining oil service life during operation, perform diagnostics and optimise maintenance intervals.
All of these facts make these diagnostic units an important component of any condition monitoring concept.

  • The DUO diagnostic unit is recommended for us in a wide range of industries and areas of application. The continuous monitoring of the remaining oil life makes it possible to determine the optimum time to change the oil.
  • This is especially useful when working with fluctuating loads, speeds and ambient temperatures. Such conditions make it difficult to calculate the optimum time for an oil change using service life curves.
  • The DUO diagnostic unit can also reduce the risk of failure in critical systems where machine and production standstills are associated with high costs.
