Extend service life, reduce unplanned repairs, and optimise maintenance across your fleet with real-time oil condition monitoring.
Agricultural machinery operates for long hours under seasonal pressure—often in dusty, wet, or high-load environments. These conditions lead to rapid oil degradation, water ingress, and contamination in engines, hydraulics, and gear systems.
Real-time oil monitoring gives farmers and operators continuous visibility into equipment condition. It helps prevent in-season failures, extend service intervals, and reduce waste without relying solely on visual inspections or fixed service schedules.
Avoid breakdowns during harvest or planting with early oil fault detection.
Extend service intervals based on oil condition, without increasing risk to reliability.
Lower oil, filter, and parts use while reducing labour and emergency repair expenses.
Monitor tractors, sprayers, and harvesters across your fleet.
Avoid unnecessary oil changes and reduce waste across your entire equipment fleet.
Act on live data trends instead of relying on fixed schedules or visual inspections.
Tan Delta sensors are used on tractors, combine harvesters, irrigation pumps, and PTO systems. Operators use the system to identify oil issues before failure, plan accurate service intervals, and eliminate waste from premature oil changes.
Tan Delta’s system performs reliably in off-road and agricultural conditions. It gives farmers and service managers visibility into oil condition for engines, hydraulics, and drivetrains—enabling better planning and fewer equipment disruptions.
Real-time oil condition analysis for fixed installations in standard and hazardous environments.
Pre-configured kits with sensors, displays, and cabling — engineered for quick install into engines, gearboxes, hydraulics, and rotating equipment.
Displays, gateways, and manifolds for integration, readout, and remote monitoring in any environment.
Can Tan Delta sensors be used on tractors and farm machinery?
Yes. Tan Delta sensors are commonly used on tractors, harvesters, sprayers, pumps, and other agricultural equipment. They monitor oil condition in engines, hydraulics, and transmissions using standard oil access points.
What oil types are supported in agricultural use?
The system supports all common lubricants used in agriculture, including engine oils, hydraulic fluids, transmission oils, and biodegradable options. No oil-specific calibration is required.
How is the sensor installed on agricultural machinery?
Sensors are installed using existing oil inspection or sampling ports. Installation is simple and does not require equipment modification. The sensor must be placed in a pressurised oil flow path for accurate readings.
Can it operate in off-road and dusty conditions?
Yes. The sensor housing is rugged and IP-rated for operation in harsh environments, including off-road and dusty agricultural settings. It performs reliably in vibration-prone and high-temperature machinery.
How does it help reduce maintenance and service costs?
The system provides live oil condition data, allowing servicing only when needed. This helps extend service intervals, reduce oil waste, avoid unnecessary servicing, and prevent in-season failures.
Is it suitable for seasonal or low-hour equipment?
Yes. For equipment that sits idle for long periods or runs seasonally, oil can degrade even without high usage. Tan Delta sensors detect this degradation, allowing accurate servicing decisions based on actual condition.
What is the TDN Value?
TDN (Tan Delta Number) is a single real-time value that represents overall oil condition. It is calculated from the sensor’s raw data and allows users to track oil health and rate of change over time. TDN enables data-driven decisions on when to service or replace oil.
How do I view the oil condition data in the field?
Data can be displayed in-cab, sent to mobile devices, or viewed remotely via Tan Delta’s online platform, depending on your integration setup.
