Schaeffler (UK) has launched a low
cost, easy-to-use non-contact
(infrared) temperature measurement
device that measures the surface
temperature of components in a
wide variety of applications.

TempCheck PRO is a handheld IR
temperature measurement device
that offers engineers a low cost
alternative to thermal imaging
cameras. The device requires little
training as the user simply aims the
device at the target object and presses
a button. The temperature is then
displayed on a coloured LCD.

The TempCheck PRO can be used
in, for example, the preventive
maintenance of rotating machinery
and components and for locating
hotspots on bearings, gearboxes,
motors, valves, HVAC systems,
electrical connectors, fuses, electrical
wiring and control cabinets. The
device is supplied as standard with a
surface sensor for use where contact
measurement is preferred, and an
immersion sensor for measuring the
temperature of fluids. An integrated
data logger can store up to 20
recorded values.
