Optical sensors detect oil leaks at an early stage in the event of seal failure

Optical sensors detect oil leaks at an early stage in the event of seal failure

The optoCONTROL CLS1000 series of fibre optic sensors from Micro-Epsilon reliably and precisely detect oil leaks in the event of seal failure. At Linde Material Handling, a shaft seal ring (WDR) protects the oil-lubricated gearbox from the electric drive motor. A failure of the WDR would go unnoticed and could cause the motor compartment to fill with gearbox oil, resulting in massive gearbox damage.
