Bearing Temperature Sensors: Heat Monitoring for Elevator and Conveyor Safety

Looking for reliable bearing temperature sensors? This section features innovative equipment from leading manufacturer 4B Braime Components (UK), providing real-time bearing temperature monitoring. Our elevator temperature sensors and heat controllers detect overheating (from +3°C), signaling friction, wear, or clogging, preventing fires, belt breaks, and downtime at grain elevators, feed mills, flour mills, and bulk storage facilities.

Advantages of 4B Bearing Temperature Sensors

Why choose 4B Braime temperature sensors?

• High sensitivity: Respond to +3°C rise, ±1°C accuracy, thresholds 60°C (warning) / 70°C (emergency stop).

• Sensor variety: PT100 RTD, K-type thermocouples, thermistors — for precise measurement in harsh environments.

• Durability: IP67/IP68 housing, -40°C to +150°C operation, ATEX Zone 20/21 dust, moisture, and vibration resistant.

• Easy integration: 4-20 mA, Modbus, relay outputs, compatible with DCS, SCADA, PLC for automated response.

• Savings: Reduce fire risk by 95%, extend bearing life by 50%, payback — 4–6 months.

How Bearing Temperature Sensors Work

Bearing temperature sensors install directly into the bearing housing (boot mount) or on the surface (surface mount). They detect heat from friction, a common failure precursor. At threshold (e.g., 65°C), the system signals the controller, activating cooling, lubrication, or shutdown. Critical in dusty areas where overheating can ignite. Protection from:

• Fires and dust explosions

• Chain or belt breakage

• Equipment downtime

Bearing Temperature Sensor Groups

Embedded PT100 for elevator bearings. Range: -50…+250°C. Output: 4-20 mA. Mounting: boot in bearing. Ideal for accurate monitoring with ±0.5°C error.

T500 Hotbus — K-Type Thermocouple with Modbus

Flexible probe for bearing surface. Range: -200…+1350°C. Output: Modbus RTU, 4-20 mA. Protection: IP68, ATEX. Suited for high-temp conveyor zones.

B400 — Wireless Temperature Sensor

Wireless data transmission up to 100 m. Range: 0…+200°C. Integrates with Watchdog™. For remote monitoring on large elevators.

MDB / WDB — Combined with Speed

Thermal + speed control in one. Range: -40…+120°C. Output: relay, PNP. For comprehensive elevator safety.

Application Areas

Ideal for:

• Grain elevators and HPP

• Feed mills

Installation on Elevator

T400 boots into main elevator bearing. Dust-induced heat (70°C) — automatic stop, grain feed block. IoT compatible for mobile alerts.

Use on Conveyor

T500 on roller bearings detects belt friction. Overheat — PLC signal, lubrication activation.
