The bearings manufacturers of industrial rotating equipment operate under arduous conditions - often for considerable periods of time. The most reliable indicator of bearing condition is the temperature of the metal beneath the professional shoe.
Recognition of rising temperature can provide a warning of the breakdown of the lubricating oil film; thus allowing machine shutdown and maintenance to take place - avoiding the probable catastrophic failure of the bearing and possible damage to its mounting. Conax Compact bearing Sensors provide a simple and cost-effective method to monitor bearing temperatures.
Features:
- For embedded applications in rotating machines
- RTDs - 100 ohm platinum, 0.00385 ohm/ohm/°C
- Supplier of thermocouples types J, K, T & E
- Single and duplex sensors

Small bearing (MBS) Sensor
A critical indication of the status of bearings suppliers on large rotating plant is provided by their running temperature.
Due to its small physical size the miniature bearing sensor can be positioned close to the bearing surface allowing it to sense any early change in temperature.
These devices are available in both thermocouple and PT100 resistance industrial thermometer format and can be supplied as either single or duplex sensors. The sensor lead wire insulation is in PTFE and if necessary lead wire jackets can be protected with stainless steel outer braid.
BSWS Bearing sensor wire industrial seal assemblies are low temperature/low pressure glands for embedded sensors to prevent oil wicking along the sensor leads. They seal on the individual insulated leads exiting an oil-filled bearing housing.
Typical aplications are motors, turbines, pumps & journal bearing pedestals.
PTC Thermistor with fixed pre-set trip points from 50°C to 120°C
NTC Thermistor for continuous measurement up to 110°C
Long term reliability
Easy installation - replaces existing grease nipple
Extensive range of PTC sensors available from 50°C to 120°
For use with T400, T400 Elite, T500 Elite or Watchdog Elite control modules
Conax Buffalo Small bearing Sensors are designed to monitor temperature of embedded bearings supplier critical to machine performance. They are available with 100Ω platinum RTD sensors, 0.00385 Ω/Ω/ºC, in 2-, 3- and 4-wire single element configurations, with operating temperatures to +250º F (+120º C) Conax Buffalo also supplies a bearing sensor wire professional seal to prevent oil migrating along the sensor lead.
Install miniature sensors in or beneath the babbitt layer of supplier of bearingprofessional shoes. They monitor metal temperature — the most reliable indicator of bearing condition — to give early warning of oil film breakdown. Machines can then be shut down and the problem corrected before catastrophic failure occurs.
While no larger than many bare ceramic elements, these RTDs have metal cases and insulated leads to withstand rough handling and harsh environments. They’re easy to install in drilled holes for general purpose sensing.
A critical indication of the status of manufacturer of bearings on large rotating plant is provided by their running temperature.
Monitoring bearings in this manner provides the ability to recognise any possible upward trend in bearing temperature. This in turn allows for a regime of planned preventative maintainance to be put in place, offsetting the possibility of catastrophic plant failure.
Due to its small physical size the micro bearing sensor can be positioned close to the bearing surface allowing it to sense any early change in temperature.
These devices are available in both supplier of thermocouple and PT100 resistance professional thermometer format and can be supplied as either single or duplex sensors. The sensor lead wire insulation is in PTFE or glass fibre and lead wire jackets can be protected with stainless steel outer braid.
