Diagnostic Services
Sensors, diagnostics, services
Ensuring process stability requires condition-based maintenance of the drive train. With DIAGNOSTEX®, sensors on our gear units measure deviations from the target state. These can be analyzed and evaluated for the purpose of maximizing plant availability.
DIAGNOSTEX marks an important step into the digital future of mechanical drive technology. With the help of DIAGNOSTEX, the gear unit identifies and communicates any deviations during operation, thereby initiating highly precise early damage detection by our experts. The “digital gear unit” opens up new possibilities for predictive maintenance: The necessary measures can be taken in good time and the planning of our services improved. In conjunction with optimized spare-part management, life cycle costs are significantly reduced and longer gear unit downtimes virtually eliminated.
Benefit from:
- Globally available mobile measurement and diagnostic services from local service teams
- Remote diagnostic services for standard and application-specific gear units
- Highest reliability of results due to comprehensive technology and product knowledge as well as the industry expertise of the diagnostics engineers
- Gear unit service direct from the manufacturer

DX500 for predictive gear unit maintenance
Our entry-level product, DX500, already makes your mechanical drive components more digital. With DX500, we are the first gear unit manufacturer in the world to offer an independent monitoring solution for helical gear units in the low- to medium-torque range. The temperature and vibration sensor measures vibrations and heat buildup directly on the gear unit and, with its measured data, delivers important parameters for predictive gear unit maintenance.
DX500 reports any changes by means of LED and alarm signals in the DX Assist app on your smartphone or tablet. It makes your service planning easier before faults or unscheduled downtimes occur in the production process and thus increases the plant availability.
When you order the sensor, our technicians program it precisely to suit your gear unit configuration. You thus profit from our know-how in gear unit manufacturing and our many years of condition monitoring experience.
Due to the built-in analysis function, the sensor works independently. As a simple and independent monitoring and diagnostics solution, it is mainly intended for use with gear units in the low- to medium-torque range in all industrial applications. DX500 is ideally suited for helical gear units in applications such as bucket conveyors, water turbines, blowers/fans, cooling towers, agitators, aerators, dryers and many others.
Important: DX500 is not only used in new gear units, it can also be retrofitted to gear units during ongoing operation.
The installation is simple and uncomplicated.
Benefit from:
- Cost-effective vibration and temperature measurement with app for gear units diagnostics
- Optimized plant availability and avoidance of unplanned downtimes by means of predictive maintenance
- Early fault message directly on the sensor or via the DX Assist app
- Data evaluation and diagnosis by our competent team of experts
