Product catalog summary
Product Overview
EPHY-MESS GmbH provides oil level gauges designed for use in railway and industrial applications. These gauges are essential for monitoring oil levels in gears, engines, and other components, ensuring operational efficiency and safety.

Applications
The oil level gauges are used in various sectors including electro-motors, transformers, turbines, and generators, particularly in harsh environments such as under-floor zones of rail vehicles and the mining industry. They are crucial for continuous monitoring of oil levels in traction gears, brakes, and engines.

Functional Principle
The patented two-chamber system allows for quick oil level checks and can withstand impacts from objects up to 30g at 50m/s. In case of damage, the system prevents oil leakage, and the sight glass can be replaced without emptying the oil container.

Advantages
  • Available in one or two-chamber systems.
  • Constructed from brass, steel, or aluminum.
  • Optional reflectors and customizable markers.
  • Highly resistant to collisions and rockfall.
  • Allows for corrective maintenance without oil loss.
  • Custom dimensions available with short delivery times.


Technical Parameters
  • Temperature range: -40°C to 105°C, temporarily up to 150°C.
  • Outer dimensions range from 48 to 70 mm.
  • Materials: Brass (MS), stainless steel (VA), or aluminum (AL).
  • Customizable markers and built-in reflectors available on request.

Oil level gauges for railway and industry-1

Product information Oil level gauges for railway and industry Components for Gears for Drive Technology Gears of Railway and Tram Plain Bearing and Brakes Engines and Motors Applications EPHY-MESS® supports sensors for temperature measurements to manufacturers of electro-motors, transformers, of turbines and generators of large hydro-electric power plants. The industry demands aside the application of temperature sensors in various types of gears or in wheelset bearing also for oil level gauges. EPHY-MESS product portfolio comprises standard oil level gauges as well as special protected double window gauges optimized for the use under harsh environmental conditions. In the underfloor zone of rail vehicles mechanical strains or rockfall generate high risk for devices located there. EPHY-MESS oil level gauges are also used in very rough and industrial environments like in the mining industry. The oil levels of traction gears, brakes or various types of engines, flowed through by oil, have to be monitored continuously. Oil level gauges have to be easily accessible, quick to clean and must be extremely impact resistant avoiding malfunction or defect for the system. Functional Principle / Short Description / Assembly The patented two-chamber system of EPHY-MESS oil level gauges enables a quick control of the oil level and withstands “projectiles” up to a mass of 30g and speed of 50m/s. In case of damage of the sight glass due to a stronger collision, the gear oil won’t leak out thanks to the two-chamber system with its integrated protective grid. The destroyed window can be replaced quickly during a routine test without opening the oil container and emptying the oil. Aside of the two-chamber system, EPHY-MESS offers oil level gauges with one window as well. Advantages / Customer Benefit / Critical to Quality One or double chamber system Housing of brass, steel or aluminum With or without reflector Markers on customer demand No oil leakage despite rockfall, highly resistant against collision Two-chamber system with integrated protective grid Corrective maintenance without oil loss Customized dimensions with short delivery times EPHY-MESS GmbH - Berta-Cramer-Ring 1 - 65205 Wiesbaden, Germany Phone: +49 6122 / 9228-0 – Fax: +49 6122 / 9228-99 – E-Mail: [email protected]
