Schaeffler UK launches infrared TempCheck device
1 min read
Schaeffler UK has launched a non-contact infrared temperature measurement device that measures the surface temperature of components in a wide variety of applications.
The new TempCheck PRO is a handheld device that offers engineers a "genuine, low cost alternative to thermal imaging cameras" according to Schaeffler (UK).
The device can measure surface temperatures from -32°C to 760°C.
The device aims to provide a simple measurement system with users pointing the device at the target object and presses a button. The temperature is then displayed on a coloured LCD display, Schaeffler (UK) said.
TempCheck PRO's 300ms response time also allows the user to 'sweep' the unit around a room or control cabinet looking for 'hotspots'. The device can be programmed to compensate for the emissivity of different target materials, Schaeffler (UK) added.
The TempCheck PRO can be used in a number of applications, including the preventive maintenance of rotating machinery and components, and for locating 'hotspots' on bearings, gearboxes, motors and valves, Schaeffler UK said.
