TCM Series
Contamination Sensor Modules, Measures Particles in Four Sizes >4, >6, >14, >21.
The TestMate Contamination Monitor (TCM) continuously measures solid contamination in hydraulic fluid. Enclosed in a 4-inch diameter case, the TCM utilizes an optical sensor and measures particles in four sizes: >4, >6, >14, and >21 microns. Measurements results can be output as contamination code.
The TCM is designed for connection to hydraulic lubrication lines with pressures up to 5075 psi (350 bar) and viscosities up to 4635 SUS (1000 cST). The unit requires that a small flow of oil (between 30mL/min and 500 mL/min) is diverted for measurement purposes.
The TCM provides the user with a smaller, tougher, and more versatile stationary sensor. It provides instantaneous readings and is able to self-diagnose continuously with error indication via the status LED. The attractive cost-to-performance ratio makes it especially applicable for OEM applications. Online, real-time condition monitoring allows you to have total predictive maintenance.
