Schaeffler OPTIME - Sensors

Schaeffler Technologies BA 68 19
Sensors The OPTIME sensors are fixed to the machines and activated using
near-field communication (NFC) via the OPTIME app. The sensors are
also suitable for use outdoors.
Two different types of sensor are available.
The OPTIME3sensor has a bandwidth of 2Hz to 3kHz and is
therefore suitable for the following applications:
■ motors
■ generators
■ fans
■ plummer block bearings.
The OPTIME5sensor has a bandwidth of 2Hz to 5kHz and is
therefore suitable for monitoring the following applications:
■ pumps
■ geared motors
■ gear box
■ compressors.
The OPTIME system is suitable for machines that run continually
or run continually to some extent. Machines that are only operated
for short phases during the day are less suitable for monitoring
with the OPTIME system. In addition, the machine should normally
run in a stable operating state (speed and performance) for a period
of around one hour. With OPTIME 3 sensors, machine speeds
of 120 min
–1
to 3 000 min
–1
can be monitored, and with OPTIME 5
sensors up to 5 000 min
–1
. When choosing the suitable combination
of machines and sensor, there are certain factors that need to be
considered, see
