Particle Detection
Early detection of charged particles to prevent wear and failure
The challenge
- In many critical systems — such as turbomachinery, gearboxes, or sealed drive units — metallic or conductive particles may be released due to friction, wear, or fatigue
- These particles can cause further damage, reduce lubrication efficiency, or signal incipient mechanical failure
- Detection must occur in real-time, without interrupting operations, and often in oil-filled, sealed, or inaccessible environments
- Conventional methods such as oil sampling are too slow or imprecise, and visual inspection is not feasible in real time
Our technical response
- Proprietary detection principles for charged or conductive particles
- Non-intrusive sensors
- High sensitivity to detect early particle formation and track degradation trends
- Suitable for use in aerospace, energy, transportation, and defense systems
- Electronics adapted for continuous monitoring, event logging, and maintenance alerts
Proven applications
- Detect early-stage wear before failure occurs
- Enable predictive maintenance strategies and reduce unplanned downtime
- Operate continuously in harsh or sealed environments
- Minimize maintenance costs and increase asset life
- Comply with mission-critical reliability standards in aviation and defense
