(Voith: York, PA) -- Because constant-fill fluid couplings typically operate in demanding applications like belt conveyors, crushers, and shredders, ensuring an optimum coupling fluid temperature is vital for reliability and productivity.

However, the temperature of the operating medium often remains hidden, meaning the actual load on the coupling during operation goes unnoticed. This is exactly where OnSens.SmarTemp comes into play.

“With this smart and retrofittable temperature measurement system, we enable operators to track the condition of their fluid couplings in real time, for new and existing coupling installations alike,” says Voith product manager Thomas Ohr.

OnSens.SmarTemp continuously measures the live fluid temperatures of constant-fill fluid couplings. These real-time data provide detailed insight into operational performance, helping to boost system availability and profitability. It can also be used for load control, enabling a preventive response to alerts such as overload. And because signal transmission continues after shutdown, operations can subsequently be resumed at the earliest possible moment.
