Miniature Sensors-RTDs / Thermocouples

While no larger than many bare ceramic elements, these RTDs or Thermocouples have metal cases and insualted leads to withstand rough handling and harsh environments. They are easy to install in drilled holes for general purpose sensing.

Install miniature sensors in or beneath the babbitt layer of bearing 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.
