Temperature
Temperature measurement is a useful indicator of mechanical condition or the load
applied to a specific component. As a bearing or its lubrication fails, friction causes its
temperature to rise. Measuring temperature changes within the bearing allows you to
recognise problems early and to schedule maintenance before a serious and expensive
failure occurs.
The sensor’s opening for taking temperature measurements is located next to the
magnet stud and has a range of 4 cm from the machine. The infra-red (IR) sensor
quickly determines the temperature of the equipment being measured.
