In hydraulic and lubrication systems, fluid cleanliness is a key factor in ensuring maximum equipment reliability and performance. Even small increases in particle contamination can accelerate component wear, reduce system efficiency, and lead to costly unplanned downtime.

The new HYDAC Contamination Sensor CS 1500 Series has been developed to take online fluid condition monitoring to the next level. By continuously measuring solid particle contamination in real time, the CS 1500 enables maintenance teams to identify contamination trends early and take corrective action before equipment failures occur.

The latest generation sensor combines HYDAC’s proven contamination monitoring technology with an innovative digital interface that allows simple configuration and monitoring directly from a smartphone or tablet. Users can easily visualize cleanliness classes, sensor status, and historical events.

Key features of the CS 1500 Series include:
• Continuous online monitoring of fluid cleanliness according to ISO 4406, SAE AS4059 and NAS 1638 standards.
• Adaptive measuring cycles that automatically optimize measurements, even in very clean fluids or changing operating conditions.
• Continuous self-diagnostics with fault indication via LED, display and digital interface, ensuring maximum measurement reliability.
• Event history with histogram display for improved trend analysis and predictive maintenance.
• Compact, robust design suitable for mobile and industrial hydraulic applications.

By providing accurate, real-time contamination data, the CS 1500 helps maintenance teams optimize filtration performance, extend oil and component life, reduce maintenance costs, and maximize machine availability.
