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.
