Instrumental methods in the diagnostics of special vehicle drive

The article deals with selected possibilities of diagnostics of the integrated power pack of special vehicles using advanced instrumental tribotechnical diagnostic methods. Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR), Ferrography, Atomic Emission Spectrometry (AES) and Laser Counter and Laser-Net Fines were used to analyse used oil samples. The analyses were focused on objective evaluation of the technical state of the monitored systems as well as the degree of degradation of the oils used in these systems
