Overview

These RTD probe sensors are commonly installed in bearings and housings of rotating machinery.  They are used to detect temperature changes at the point of contact in bearings, oil, air, water and other process control applications. The sensing element is installed in a small metal housing. This allows for increased accuracy and sensitivity to temperature changes at the point of contact in bearings. These miniature sensors are easy to install where space is limited and a hole can be drilled for placement. We offer a variety of custom options for embedment RTD probes to suit most applications.
