EY 1356 Contamination Switch

The contamination switch series EY-1356 works as a warning element in hydraulic systems and gearboxes and has been developed by HYDAC ELECTRONIC to meet the special requirements of our customers.

The sensor detects and attracts metal ferromagnetic particles in oil or in other hydraulic fluids. The accumulation of particles generates a switching signal (change in the ohmic resistance). The contamination sensor thus provides an early warning of possible wear. Substantial damage on bearings and gear wheels, for instance, can therefore be avoided.

The sensor is available with different mechanical and electrical connections and can be integrated into almost any application.

Special features:

• Simple design
