Small air bubbles. Big consequences.

The Invisible Threat – Why Air in Oil Matters

Air in oil is often invisible, but its effects are serious. Oxidation, increased wear, loss of performance and premature oil ageing are direct consequences of air bubbles in hydraulic systems and transmissions. Traditional methods of measurement are often inaccurate or only provide indirect data.


The hidden risks of undetected air in oil

Without accurate detection, air in oil can cause the following problems:

  • Loss of performance and reduced efficiency
  • Increased downtime and maintenance costs
  • Reduced service life of machines and components
