What type of temperature transmitter would be most suitable for measuring running gear bearing temperatures in a diesel engine in that it requires no contact with the bearing?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Non-contact temperature measurement methods and how they work • Typical uses of pyrometers versus contact sensors like RTDs, thermocouples, and thermistors • Why running gear bearings in a diesel engine might benefit from no physical contact with the sensor

💭 Think About

• Which of the listed devices can measure temperature from a distance, without touching the surface being measured? • Among the options, which are primarily contact sensors that must be physically attached, embedded, or clamped to the bearing or housing? • Think about engine vibration and movement: which sensor type is commonly used to look at hot, moving parts without disturbing them?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is specifically designed for radiant heat / infrared measurement • Eliminate all sensors that require direct physical contact to work properly • Confirm that the remaining device is commonly used for high-temperature, moving, or hard-to-reach surfaces
