Gearcontrol
INNOVATIVE GEAR MONITORING SYSTEM FOR MAXIMUM RELIABILITY AND UPTIME
Eisenbeiss gears are used in numerous industries and industrial applications and handle central tasks within drive systems. The ultimate goal is to ensure a high level of plant uptime. Unplanned downtime needs to be avoided in order to prevent costly production outages. GearControl is a state-of-the-art gear condition monitoring system from Eisenbeiss that monitors gear systems around the clock. As a result, customers always have an overview of the condition of their gears and are notified at an early stage if there are any changes in condition or risk of impending damage.

GEAR MONITORING
GearControl is a modern system for gear monitoring and diagnostics. It uses the latest sensor technology to assess lubricant quality and other gear-specific parameters such as temperature, pressure and vibrations. GearControl monitors every aspect of the gearbox to extend its service life and enhance reliability.
ADVANTAGES
FAIL-SAFE
Continuous monitoring of gear parameters enables damage to be detected at an early stage in order to avoid downtime.
MAINTENANCE OPTIMIZATION
Thanks to the measurement data collected, the condition of the gear unit is known at all times. As a result, predictive maintenance tasks can be planned proactively and carried out efficiently.
SERVICE LIFE MAXIMISATION
The GearControl system helps you to operate your gear system at an optimum level. This protects the gear components and maximizes their service life.
Life-Cycle-Costs
Life-cycle-costs are significantly reduced when maintenance measures are scheduled at regular intervals.
C02 - FooTprint
Avoiding gear damage reduces the need for expensive repairs and investment in replacements, which has a positive effect on the carbon footprint.
Gearcontrol-Oil
Oil condition monitoring
GearControl-Oil® combines a multi-parameter sensor and monitoring in one device. The sensor continuously measures six specific oil condition parameters and identifies any impermissible status of the oil reliably and early on. Oil changes are therefore only carried out when they are actually necessary. This ensures optimal and sustainable use of gear oil.
More than 80% of gear damage is due to inadequate lubrication and progressive oil aging; damage that can be prevented!
MEASURED VALUES
Oil temperature
Influences oil aging and temperature compensation of other measurement parameters.
Relative moisture
Water in the oil impairs its lubricity and leads to corrosion damage.
Electrical conductivity
Indicator of oil oxidation and oil acidification.
Relative permittivity
Detects the air content in the oil and indicates unwanted foam formation.
Turbidity
Indicator of damaged gear components (oil coking).
Oil aging
Value for determining the service life of the gear oil.
Gearcontrol- System
The Eisenbeiss Condition Monitoring System
The GearControl system records the condition of the gear throughout its entire service life. The most important gear-specific condition parameters (oil state, temperature, pressure, speed, vibrations, etc.) are monitored and analysed using the latest sensor technology. Critical operating states are identified at an early stage and signalled as warning or alarm messages.
