Minco’s miniature temperature sensors were originally designed as embedment sensors in bearing shoes to protect rotating machinery from potentially catastrophic overheating events. While this application remains a mainstay, the use of these sensors has expanded into medical diagnostic, semicon, aerospace, oil and gas, food and beverage, and industrial equipment. These small-profile sensors save space and […]
Improving downstream supply chain flexibility
By Darrell Hyde, Minco For decades, miniature embedment temperature sensors have served an important purpose in many high-risk bearing applications — from motors, to pumps, generators, compressors, and more. Integrated directly into the bearing shoes, accurate temperature sensors play a crucial role in the prevention of overheating — or worse, irreparable harm to machine operators…
Minco’s S7 and TC7 Miniature Embedment Temperature Sensors
Minco Products Inc., a global provider of thermal solutions, flex circuits, and temperature sensing and control solutions, launched the S7 and TC7, a new line of miniature bearing embedment temperature sensors. These sensors commonly monitor the metal temperature of bearings in rotating equipment — the most reliable indicator of bearing condition — to give early […]
