The proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence or absence of nearby objects without any physical contact.

In the previous articles, we have discussed, fluid contamination, mechanical failures, and the general view of all the types of failures.

Having a quick overview of these types of failures is important to have an easier grasp on how to analyze the root cause of the problem and how to resolve it.

This article centers on fluid contamination simply because 80% of the failures are fluid contamination incidents.

Mechanical failures are usually caused by external physical conditions that change the mechanical structure of the materials.

In all aspects, precautions are always better than rehabilitation. Not only that it prevents any breakdowns but it definitely expands the lifetime of our hydraulic components.
