Real-time monitoring of wear in remote crane gearboxes increases efficiency

Gearboxes built into cranes withstand heavy loads and work in arduous conditions, often subject to the elements. Gear wear sensors are used to track wear rates within the equipment, reporting normal and abnormal wear levels for subsequent analysis and action.

Recommended sensors for monitoring crane gearboxes

Gill WearDetect oil debris sensors provide real-time continuous condition monitoring of machine wear in oil lubricated equipment allowing visibility on the earliest stages of machine wear. With no moving parts, Gill WearDetect oil debris sensors are highly reliable and require minimum maintenance.
