Bearings with smart plastics sensors for predictive maintenance

Production monitoring: predictive maintenance

In the area of production monitoring whereby "predictive maintenance" of the bearings has been implemented, a module is not necessary. The sensors can be operated as an isense stand-alone system that can be integrated and networked within the production infrastructure.

Suitable sensors

DLT.W

Sensor for wear in drylin T linear systems

Predictive maintenance
Integrated into the liner
Signals wear of the liner in good time
Predictable replacement of the sliding elements

DLW.W

Wear monitoring with the DLW.W sensor

Predictive maintenance
A sensor measures the wear of the linear bearing in the drylin W linear guide
If the limit is reached, it sends a signal to indicate that the bearing liner should be changed

PRT. W

Sensor for wear of iglidur® PRT slewing ring bearing

Predictive maintenance
Sensor measures the abrasion of the sliding elements
Predictable replacement of the sliding elements

isense plain bearing

Integrated wear measurement

Predictive maintenance
Integrated sensor system measures wear

Smart bearing technology

Don't let a defective plain bearing ruin your day.
Smart plain bearings are great for sensitive or hard-to-reach spots on a machine, since they allow the bearing's condition to be assessed at any time.
