Manner Sensortelemetrie GmbH’s piston telemetry has advanced to become an important tool for the development of pistons, for proof of their stability as well as the optimisation of the lubrication process. The system enables the online, multi-channel measurement of temperatures values at important points in the piston. Exact temperature distribution data under different load scenarios can be obtained, thus enabling important conclusions to be drawn for the optimal design of the piston or its operational stability.

The systems operate with robust thermocouple elements which effortlessly withstand the increasing vibration levels and are simple to mount. The temperature resistant electronics scans the measurement points with each piston stroke, transmitting the measured values to a stationary evaluation unit on a non-contact basis and without need of batteries.
