5.15.2 Bearing monitoring by shockpulse transducer
The gear unit may have been fitted with measuring nipples for monitoring the bearings. These measuring
nipples are intended for attachment of shockpulse transducers with rapidaction coupling and are located
on the housing in the vicinity of the bearings to be monitored.
The gear unit may also be set up for temperature monitoring at the bearing points. The gear unit is then
equipped with tapped holes for fitting Pt 100 resistance thermometers. For this version Siemens must be
consulted.
