BTC-BAY A bearing thermocouple with a bayonet lock is designed to monitor bearing temperatures in rotating machinery. It ensures reliable and secure contact with the bearing housing, making it ideal for preventing overheating and potential failures in industrial equipment.
Key Features:-
- Available in Thermocouples Type-K, J and T. Type-K is most widely used for industrial applications in accordance with IEC 60584 or ASTM E230
- Spring-Loaded Tip ensures constant pressure against the bearing housing, improving heat transfer leading to faster response time and accurate temperature readings.
- Adjustable bayonet Lock Mechanism provides a secure, spring-loaded connection for better contact with the bearing surface and allows for quick installation and removal without special tools.
- Straight, 45° bend or 90° bend
- Available in 0.188 ” diameter and lengths depending on application requirements.
Application Note
Copper Tip thermocouples are essential for bearing temperature monitoring in various critical equipment, including rotors, generators, turbines, and transformers, to ensure efficient power generation and prevent overheating. They are also widely used in other rotating machinery such as pumps, dynamos, compressors, and drilling equipment, helping detect temperature variations that may signal potential failures. Additionally, these temperature sensors are employed in diverse applications like aircraft engines and auxiliary power units, diesel engines, turbochargers, gearboxes, conveyor systems, and locomotive bearings, providing real-time monitoring to enhance performance, prevent damage, and ensure reliable operation across these high-stakes systems.
