Temperature sensors installed to accurately monitor bearing temperatures. They provide a proven means to assess bearing health and to minimize unplanned downtime due to a bearing failure.
Embedded sensors are installed with the entire sensor body inside the bearing housing. Leadwires exit a small housing opening for routing to a display or controller unit. Embedded temperature sensors are compact, easy to install and leave less bulky hardware on the bearing housing exterior.
BLUE PETER Series® embedded bearing sensors are offered in a variety of types and sizes. The primary purpose of these sensors is to continually monitor the temperature of bearing metal. Elevated temperatures could indicate a breakdown in the protective layer of oil, giving one time to execute a controlled or planned shutdown.
The end result is a system, which aids in avoiding both high repair/replacement costs and poor operating efficiencies.
Our RTD type embedded sensors are available in four (4) different body styles, each with a wide array of element sensor options, leadwire lengths and optional leadwire jacketing materials.
Thermocouples are also available in each of the four (4) case styles with your choice of either Grounded or Ungrounded junctions. They can be installed in the Babbitt layer or below the Babbitt surface.
Case styles are available which will accommodate either Single or Dual elements.
All of the BLUE PETER Series® embedded bearing sensors are small and they exhibit excellent resistance to vibration. They are used in most any large electric motor or generator at the bearing points.
