Oil level indicator
OSA series EPHY-MESS GmbH

In the underfloor zone of rail vehicles mechanical strains (rockfall) are a high danger for there located pieces. Highly endangered components are oil level gauges that are used for monitoring the oil level in traction gears. These have to be easily accessible, quick to clean and nevertheless must be extremely impact resistant.
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 glass can be replaced quickly during a routine test without opening the oil container and emptying the oil. Even in very rough and industrial environments like the mining industry EPHY-MESS oil level gauges are used.
