Rail Locomotive Oil Level Sensor

Designed specifically for the extreme demands of rail environments, the Rail Locomotive Oil Level Sensor delivers robust, high-accuracy measurement in oil systems critical to fleet performance. Engineered around a solid-state capacitive sensing core with no moving parts, this stainless steel instrument ensures reliable operation even in shock- and vibration-heavy contexts. With a 10-bit resolution and ±1% full-scale accuracy, the sensor delivers real-time analog output at 100Hz, regardless of orientation. IP69K sealing and resistance to tank pressure differentials up to 2 bar make it well-suited for heavy-duty, high-reliability installations in locomotives and comparable military platforms.

The unit operates within a wide temperature band of -40°C to +125°C, with an optional +150°C variant for higher-heat applications. Its compact integrated electronics eliminate the need for external processors, offering analog, CAN, or hybrid outputs. Field recalibration is enabled via software when liquid types change, providing operational flexibility. With lengths customizable up to 400mm and mounting configurations adaptable to platform needs, this sensor offers drop-in integration for modern rail vehicles, off-highway equipment, and military-grade systems requiring continuous oil, fuel, or coolant level feedback in unforgiving operational conditions.
