Bearing Temperature Measurement
- temperature at turbocharger slide bearing
The turbo charger’s turbine transforms high flow energy into rotational movement, in the compressor, in a reverse process, the rotational movement is converted into flow energy. During this process, modern turbo chargers can reach rotation speeds of up to 20,000 revolutions per minute. Such revolution speeds can only be achieved by an optimal shaft bearing. Slide friction surfaces, bearing technology and other factors determine the temperature of the bearing, which can be simply measured with the assistance of sensor telemetry from Manner.
Regardless of whether slide or ball bearing, and independent of the materials used, Manner Sensortelemetrie offers you precise applications for the measurement of bearing temperatures. At high revolution speeds, the measurement data is precisely captured, and as standard, transmitted to the evaluation unit or computer using non-contact technology. The miniaturised construction and the extremely simple mounting are the result of years of development work in cooperation with the turbo charger industry.
The electronics and transmission antenna are contained in a cartridge shaped housing that weighs a mere 5 grams and has a length of 35 millimetres. It is screwed on to the shaft thread at the turbo charger input. The inductive coupling is conducted at the inlet and can process up to four sensor signals in parallel. The measured signal has a digital resolution of 16 bit, the rotor electronics a temperature resistance of 160°C
