(1) Bearing Temperature Sensor
The sensors screw directly into a bearing housing through the existing grease zerk thread. Each sensor is fitted with a grease zerk to allow lubrication of the bearing without the need for removal of the sensor.
More about Bearing Temperature Sensors
(2) Surface Temperature Sensor
Bolts directly onto a bearing housing, motor, gearbox, or machine casing for continuous temperature monitoring.
More about Surface Temperature Sensors
(3) Belt Misalignment Sensor
Electro-mechanical limit-switch with no moving parts, which detects tracking and misalignment problems on bucket elevators and conveyors.
More about Belt Misalignment Sensors
(4) Speed Switch Sensor
The M-Series speed switches is a range of inductive proximity sensors for monitoring shaft underspeed conditions. With two under speed relay contact outputs and a pulse output, the self contained unit provides the user with easy on site installation and consistent reliability.
More about Speed Switch Sensors
(5) Plug / Choke Sensor
Detects level or plug situations for bulk granular solids or liquids in tanks, bins, or silos and can be used as a plug or choke detector in chutes, conveyors and elevator legs.
Watchdog Elite Hazard Monitor
The Watchdog Elite is a microprocessor controlled unit with combined belt speed, belt alignment, bearing temperature, pulley alignment and plugged condition monitoring for a single bucket elevator or conveyor.
More about Watchdog™ Elite Hazard Monitors
T500 Elite - Hotbus™ Hazard Monitor
The T500 Elite - Hotbus is a serial communications system designed to monitor up to 256 sensors on multiple bucket elevators and conveyors for belt speed, belt alignment, bearing temperature, level and plugged conditions.
