Product Overview

The JCM-1600 Multi-Parameter Oil Moisture Sensor is designed for real-time, online monitoring of moisture contamination levels in lubricating oils. Through continuous monitoring of oil condition, it enhances condition-based maintenance efficiency, optimizes oil change intervals, and reduces reliance on offline analysis.

The JCM-1600 integrates micro-moisture monitoring technology to detect trace moisture, water activity, dissolved water, and temperature in the oil, thereby assessing the oil’s health status. Based on Jiecheng IoT’s years of experience in online oil monitoring, it analyzes the oil health index. It evaluates the depletion of lubricant additives, monitors the degree of oil aging, and assesses the contamination status of the oil.

The JCM-1600 helps users improve the health management of their equipment assets. Based on real-time monitoring results, it supports maintenance decisions and prevents abnormal wear and corrosion of equipment caused by moisture contamination in the oil.

Application Areas

Lubricating oil is the “lifeblood” of major equipment. Water contamination in lubricating oil directly causes abnormal wear on mechanical structures and critical functional components, serving as the primary root cause of large-scale equipment failures and catastrophic accidents. The JCM-1600 provides 24/7 uninterrupted monitoring of water contamination levels in the oil circuit, providing real-time feedback on the oil’s operational status. It helps users prevent or mitigate equipment failures caused by lubricant degradation.

The JCM-1600 is widely applicable across industries such as power generation, mining, cement, shipping, defense, industrial manufacturing, papermaking, petrochemicals, transportation, metallurgy, aviation, oil fields, and ports. Specific applications include wind turbine gearboxes, aircraft/helicopter gearboxes, hydraulic transmission systems, machining centers, steam turbines, gearboxes, and gasoline/diesel engines.
