Sensor Head - Schaeffler GreaseCheck User Manual

Sensor head

Schaeffler GreaseCheck
For mounting of the sensor head, select a position that is optimum
for monitoring of the grease condition. Ensure that a grease layer of
sufficient thickness is present for measurement by the sensor head.
The grease layer thickness should be at least 5 mm. If the grease
layer is thinner than the minimum value, the measurement signal
may be affected by influences such as rolling elements passing by or
reflecting surfaces.
Note If acceptable mounting is not possible using only the internal
clamping screw M8, a suitable adapter must be used.
Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG can provide assistance
in design of the mounting adapter.
The sensor head should be mounted as follows, Figure 5, page 15:
Damage to the rolling bearing. Damage to the rolling bearing as
a result of metal swarf in ongoing operation. Ensure that metal swarf
or drilling residues do not remain in the bearing, bearing housing or

grease.

At a suitable position, drill a hole with a diameter of 6,8 mm.

Tap a thread M8 in the hole.

Screw the internal clamping screw M8 into the thread.

Slide the sensor head into the internal clamping screw until it is
sufficiently immersed in the grease.
Damage to the rolling bearing. Damage to or impairment
of the function of the rolling bearing due to excessive insertion
of the sensor. Do not slide the sensor head too far into the fitting

position.
