Bearing Sensor Case Style Features: For embedded applications in rotating machines RTDs - 100 ohm platinum, 0.00385 ohm/ohm/°C Thermocouples types J, K, T & E Single and duplex sensors Various styles and sizes Operating Temperature: to +250° F (+120° C) Bearing Sensor Optional Spring and Star Washer The spring and star washer are options for the TOP HAT case style B sensor. The top hat shape allows spring loading by use of a spring and retaining ring clip. The sensor tip is inserted into the milled hole, then the retaining ring clip is pushed down to compress the spring and retain the sensor.
