Find your local partner on the distributor map.
Application
The RTBC Bearing Temperature Sensor is a marine-approved sensor designed for real-time temperature monitoring in rotating machinery and bearings. It provides early failure detection for overheating, lubrication failure, and excessive wear, helping prevent costly downtime and equipment damage. Built with a quick-replace twist-lock mounting system, RTBC ensures fast maintenance with minimal disruption.
Modern predictive maintenance systems rely on real-time bearing temperature monitoring to optimize performance and reduce unplanned failures. RTBC integrates seamlessly with marine propulsion, wind turbines, industrial gearboxes, and rail axle monitoring, providing high-accuracy temperature data for automation systems.
Common use cases include:
✓ Marine propulsion systems – Prevents bearing failures in ship engines and power transmission systems.
✓ Wind turbine bearings – Enables condition-based maintenance in main shaft and gearbox bearings.
✓ Industrial gearboxes & heavy machinery – Supports continuous monitoring of high-load mechanical systems.
✓ Rail axle bearings – Used in trains, locomotives, and metro systems to detect overheating and optimize maintenance schedules.
✓ Custom configurations – Available with silver-bottom sensors for ultra-fast reaction time and multiple process connections.
