From railways to wind turbines, the ANALEXpqL offers fast and simple grease and lube oil testing for proactive oil condition monitoring.

The Challenge: How Do You Detect Wear Before It's Too Late?

In industries like rail transport, renewable energy, and mechanical maintenance, equipment failure can mean costly downtime, production delays, or even safety risks. The first signs of trouble often appear in lubricating oils and greases, where microscopic wear particles reveal what’s happening inside the machinery.

Although ANALEXpqL offers quick measurements, the device is typically used in laboratory settings, and the results are not used in isolation - they are most valuable when compared to previous test data to identify trends over time.

The Solution: Fast, On-Site Wear Detection with ANALEXpqL

To help customers gain quick insight into equipment condition, Insatech Marine supplies the ANALEXpqL – a compact, easy-to-use ferrous debris monitor designed for fast detection of metal wear in grease and oil samples.

It measures the PQ Index(a value that shows the mass of ferromagnetic particles in a sample) a value that shows the amount of iron particles in a sample, giving maintenance teams and labs a reliable trend indicator they can track over time. And it does it in just 4 seconds per test.

Despite being developed primarily for lab environments, the ANALEXpqL is designed with simplicity in mind. It requires no specialized training and can be operated with a single push of a button. This makes it ideal for both laboratory technicians and on-site personnel.

The device complies with ASTM D8184 and comes maintenance-free, with optional reagent packs and check standards that allow users to perform on-site calibration. By defining your own calibration benchmarks, you can ensure accuracy without sending the device away for recalibration – saving both time and cost.

It works as a reliable oil analysis system, ideal for detecting wear trends through oil condition sensors and precise oil measurement.

Proven in the Field – From Denmark to Europe, Asia, and the USA.

Insatech Marine has delivered the ANALEXpqL - PQ Index Analyzer - to a wide range of customers. In Denmark, one of the country’s major public transport providers uses it beneath train carriages to spot early signs of wear in grease and plan maintenance before faults occur. Railway operators in other countries rely on it daily to keep critical components running smoothly.

In the renewable sector, wind turbine companies test gearbox grease regularly - often in remote areas - where quick insight can make all the difference.

And in the oil and gas industry, the device plays a key role in monitoring grease and lubricating oil in pumps, motors, and other rotating equipment. It’s not used for fuel oil, but for the lubricants that keep operations moving; it delivers the data needed to catch wear before it becomes a costly problem.

Whether it’s for rail, wind, or oil & gas, ANALEXpqL supports predictive maintenance as part of a broader oil condition monitoring system, using sensors for oil condition monitoring that help operators stay ahead of failures.

These customers all benefit from the same thing: a simple tool that delivers fast, actionable insight.

Trusted by Laboratories for High-Throughput Testing

In addition to field use, Insatech has also delivered ANALEXpqL to commercial laboratories, which use the device to analyze customer samples efficiently.

With its small footprint, intuitive touchscreen, and easy USB or Ethernet data export, it fits smoothly into existing workflows, helping labs expand their services without major investment.

Some labs use it as a first screening method, selecting samples for further analysis based on PQ Index trends.

In both labs and service setups, the device is ideal for lube oil analysis where quick results and reliable screening are essential.
