Wireless system monitors bearing health
The Sentry system from Sensit is a wireless monitoring system designed for real-time monitoring of crosshead and crank pin bearing temperatures in diesel engines.
Modules provide wireless sensor telemetry
SenDaq modules permit wireless transmission of data from different types of standard sensors.
Using advanced radar technology and sensors without need for external power the system gives major advantages in hostile environments, in areas that are inaccessible during machine operation, or in applications that need a highly flexible wireless monitoring solution that can easily be installed and adjusted to different mechanical tolerances.
The system is used for temperature monitoring purposes in diesel engines, wind turbine gears, paper machines, reciprocal compressors, torsional vibration dampers, electrical generators and hydraulic clutch systems.
Application areas span from monitoring of bearing temperatures, winding temperatures, surface and shell temperatures and oil temperatures.
Installation of the system will both ease the day-to-day operation and alert to hazardous situations that might result in a high cost break down of rotating machinery.
The fast response of the system makes timely action possible.
The technology used gives a high flexibility in arranging sensors and antennas both with respect to gap (1-50mm distance), angle (maximum 30 degrees deviation) and lateral position (minimum 50% overlap).
Measuring range is from -40 to +220C.
A maximum of 16 sensors can be connected to one signal-processing unit.
Sentry GB-100 can be delivered as a stand-alone system or as an integrated part of any existing alarm and monitoring system.
