Air in oil is a widespread, often unrecognized challenge - now it can be measured DIRECTLY and accurately.
With the Smart Bubble System, companies gain complete control over their oil quality:
Find out how the SBS is revolutionizing oil condition monitoring in various industries.
Common problems caused by air in oil:
Across industries, the SBS provides a real-time solution—making air in oil directly measurable for the first time.
The Smart Bubble System transforms oil condition monitoring from reactive to preventive by providing:
Issue: Gearboxes, transmissions, and lubrication systems suffer from aeration and oil degradation, reducing vehicle and component lifespan.
How the SBS Helps: SBS provides real-time analysis of aeration in lubricants, preventing wear and optimizing vehicle performance.
Issue: Oil-air dispersion inevitably and unintentionally occurs in high-pressure hydraulic systems, transmissions and axles in heavy machinery. The air in the oil creates various challenges that can lead to component failure, among other things.
How the SBS Helps: The SBS enables critical conditions to be detected at an early stage, ensuring reliable lubrication even under challenging conditions.
Issue: Hydraulic systems suffer from foam formation, cavitation, and inefficient lubrication, leading to component failures resulting in high maintenance costs.
How the SBS Helps: Using the SBS, real-time monitoring of the oil quality with regard to lubricity, air content and also air bubble sizes becomes possible. This considerably simplifies preventive maintenance of the lubricants as well as the mechanical components of a system.
Issue: Wind turbine gearboxes are designed for maximum efficiency. During operation, however, unavoidable oil foaming, oxidation and oil ageing occur, which has a direct impact on efficiency and leads to costly downtimes.
How the SBS Helps: With the SBS, both the foam formation and the air bubble size can be measured precisely and on a load point specific basis. As a result, both the efficiency and the wear of the lubricating oils used can be optimized.
Issue: Hydraulic systems require stable lubrication and precise oil circulation and filtration. Air in the oil affects both the filter performance and the overall efficiency of the systems.
How the SBS Helps: With the SBS, both air content and air bubble sizes can be measured precisely at the point of origin, and above all they can be produced specifically for testing purposes. In this way, filter systems can be developed tailored to the application and optimized for customers in a targeted manner.
