WDB1 & 2 Series Bearing Sensor

         
 

The WDB 1 & 2 series is a range of bearing sensors manufactured to screw directly into a bearing housing through the existing 1/8” NPT threaded grease zerk. Each sensor is fitted with a grease zerk to allow lubrication of the bearing without the need for removal of the sensor.

 

Three versions are available, a NTC thermistor or platinum RTD type for continuous temperature monitoring, and a PTC thermistor model with the following trip points (specify when ordering): 122°F, 140°F, 158°F, 176°F, 194°F.

 

The sensor is supplied with a nine foot attached cable and can be connected to a PLC or to a hazard monitoring system, such as 4B’s T500 Hotbus Elite, Watchdog Elite, or T400 Elite.

 

The connections are not polarity sensitive therefore special connection requirements are eliminated, and the cable can be extended in the field.
