The TCS580 is an oil-tight thermocouple bearing sensor that measures bearing temperatures on industrial rotating equipment; a key indicator for oil film and bearing health monitoring. Its small sensor tip allows for quick measurements and easy installation, while different cabling options offer excellent durability in harsh environments.
Unique oil barrier
The sensor comes with a unique oil seal which is designed to withstand temperature fluctuations and prevent any oil pass-through over time.
Negates the need for oil drainage
Due to its oil-tight design oil drainages due to leakages are no longer required, nor the necessity to regularly empty these.
Leak-proof pressure tested
To ensure its leak-proof design and the quality of the manufacturing process, each oil barrier is thoroughly pressure tested (2 bar, 20 °C).
Design & configurations
The transition piece has multiple oil barriers to ensure that the sensor is leak proof. Combined with the sealing gland that comes with the sensor this makes the sensor fully oil-tight.
Different sensor configurations are available, including sensor type E, J, K, N, and T, various sensor junction options, and different cable materials and sizes. Refer to the datasheet in the download section below for details.
Application
The TCS580 sensor offers an affordable oil-tight solution for slide bearing / plain bearing applications, both for OEMs and end-users. Applications include turbines and compressors in energy, oil & gas, chemical, and petrochemical industries.
