Miniature Bearing (MBS) Sensor

A critical indication of the status 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 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 thermometer format and can be supplied as either single or duplex sensors. The sensor lead wire insulation is in PTFE with the option of  a stainless steel outer braid for mechanical protection.
