Abstract
Analysis device for detecting solid particles in suspension in a lubricant, the analysis device comprising one or more ferromagnetic solid particle sensors, one or more other sensors able to detect non-ferromagnetic solid particles, and one or more magnets. The ferromagnetic solid particle sensors are offset in a direction perpendicular to a main direction of flow of the lubricant in relation to the other sensors, and the magnets are arranged so as to attract ferromagnetic solid particles towards the sensors of ferromagnetic solid particles by drawing them away from the other sensors.
