Pt100 onto a generator bearing
Pt100 onto a generator bearing
(OP)
hello everybody, I`m electric guy, learning something on bearings, I´d to install a PT100 into a old bearing, I wanna know what`s the distance from the antifriction layer to put the head of my PT100, and what could be the real temperature diference between my reading and the real one.
thanks in advance for everybody

RE: Pt100 onto a generator bearing
This gives an accurate reading of the babbitt material. If you don't know the setpoint you want, you can trend the temperature for awhile and see what the hottest temp is. Then set a good number of degrees above. Make sure this temp is below the melting point of the babbitt and also below breakdown or flashpoints of the oil. You could look at the spec sheet of the oil and set the alarm to be below the manufacturer's recommended temp range for the oil.

Is it posibility to know more or less the accuracy of the RTD, in example, If i insert the RTD 1 mm into the babbit, what is the difference between put it right in the layer between babbit and support metal? I know there´s too much questions, I hope you or somebody will answer it...
thanks a lot,

(I´m thinking about temperature ranges)??
thank for your attention and sorry for my bad english
