专利汇可以提供Apparatus for monitoring bearing temperature and for protecting bearing from overtemperature专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A system for monitoring and protecting a bearing employs a temperature responsive thermistor spring biased against the outer shell of the bearing. The thermistor preferably has a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity with a threshold or anomaly temperature for example of approximately 300*F above which the thermistor changes from a low resistance to a high resistance mode. The change in resistance is sensed by a protection circuit and a switch is actuated upon overheating of the bearing. The thermistor is disposed in a probe which is slidably mounted in a sensor head. A spring located in the head biases the probe outwardly, the outward motion being limited by stop surfaces. The sensor head is mounted in a housing containing the bearing such that in the absence of the bearing the probe would extend into the bearing cavity. Insertion of the bearing cams the probe toward the sensor head leaving the probe in close thermal contact with the bearing structure.,下面是Apparatus for monitoring bearing temperature and for protecting bearing from overtemperature专利的具体信息内容。
