MCS Metallic Contamination Sensor Series

The Metallic Contamination Sensor Series detects metallic solid particle contamination in lubrication fluid. The particles are determined according to the inductive measurement process, in which a coil system is the key element of the sensor. There are three models to choose from as the MCS 1000 continuously monitors the status of the system and gives information on imminent gear unit damage.
