Product overview

Condition insight from oil in service

Oil condition monitoring tracks changes caused by degradation, contamination and chemical change. The OQSx-G2 is installed in contact with live oil and converts the condition into a Tan Delta Number (TDN), allowing changes and rate of change to be followed over time.

It can be integrated with compatible local displays, plant networks and control systems. The resulting trend supports maintenance decisions when reviewed alongside operating history, equipment condition and established site procedures.

The Tan Delta advantage

Designed for continuous condition awareness

Practical sensor outputs for predictive-maintenance and reliability programmes.

01

Continuous, real-time analysis

The sensor analyses oil in operating equipment and reports oil condition and temperature every two seconds.

02

Full-spectrum monitoring

Tan Delta's FSH technology responds to oil degradation, wear and contamination rather than relying on a single test parameter.

03

Equipment integration

RS485, CANbus and 4-20 mA outputs support integration with compatible displays, PLCs and monitoring networks.

04

Condition-led maintenance

Trend data can support maintenance planning, early investigation and more informed oil-change decisions.

Installation and integration

Compact sensor. Flexible data connection.

The stainless-steel sensor is designed for installation through an appropriate oil inspection point so its sensing tip remains in contact with moving oil. Available thread options include 1/2-inch BSPP, 1/2-inch NPT, 7/8-inch UNF and M18.

Output can be connected to a compatible display, PLC or monitoring network. The final mounting point, thread, wiring and system configuration should be confirmed for the specific equipment before ordering.
