How a Viscometer Sensor Works

A Small But Powerful Viscometer

Cambridge Viscosity’s Miniature Viscometer SPC 501 is used extensively for compressor, used oil analysis, on-engine, and hydraulic fluid applications. It is ideal for installations where form factor and small sample volume are important.

Our viscosity management technology is based on a simple and reliable electromagnetic concept.  Two coils move the piston back and forth magnetically at a constant force.  Proprietary circuitry analyzes the piston’s two-way travel time to measure absolute viscosity.

A built-in temperature detector (RTD) senses the actual temperature in the sampling chamber.  Constant in and out motion keeps samples fresh, mechanically scrubs the sampling area, and provides excellent viscosity tracking.

Recommended fluid flow over the sensor is up to 30 cm/sec.
