80% of the failure causes can be detected
by the condition of the lubricant!
Condition monitoring of the lubricant is
of crucial importance to reduce downtime!

Results:
• The measurement in all
monitored machines are
comparable
• Humidity: The value at
startup and during
operation is very low
• Conductivity & Permittivity:
The values are steadily
increasing.
• Oil aging: The former oil
change interval of 4000h
has been extended to a
value of about 6000h

Results:
• The aging progress in the
two independent brake
circuits develops similar
• The former oil change
interval of 2000h has been
extended to about 5000h.
The results were confirmed
by an independent
laboratory.
