Capture Wear-generated Debris in Transmission and Gearboxes! Early Warning of Failure in Gears and Bearings. Magnetic chip collection is the most economical and direct form of lube system failure detection in use today. Usually located in a gearbox or reservoir drain plug location, the magnetic chip collector captures and retains particles for later removal and off-line analysis. 2, record 3, English, - chip%20detector

This device is differentiated from the ubiquitous magnetic drain plug through the use of a unique self-closing valve, which permits the chip collector to be withdrawn without loss of lube or hydraulic oil. It is no longer necessary to wait until an oil change to assess the condition of critical gears and bearings. The chip collector can also be line-mounted, closer to the potential failure point, for fault isolation or even greater assurance of detecting a failure. 2, record 3, English, - chip%20detector
