Infrared tyre sensor

With the Therma friction thermocouple you can determine the surface temperature of the brakes while driving. Attaching the mounting adapter puts uniform pressure on the brake disc through the spring-loaded sensor by using a bayonet cap. That perfectly compensates movements caused by centrifugal force and vibrations as well as the volume decrease caused by disc wear while ensuring a valid measurement. The brake disc friction sensor measures the surface temperature of the brake disc. It imparts important insights about the temperature development. That enables an indication about the brake line, intake and temperature radiation. A brake disc that becomes too hot during a race massively loses its effectiveness and deceleration to the accustomed and optimal degree is no longer possible. If the temperature is too high, the brake pads start gassing on top of that.

The braking fluid thermocouple from Therma convinces not only with its compact construction but also with its simple installation. Just screw it in in-place of the air vent screw to measure the temperature of the brake fluid. The subsequent sheathing line can then be comfortably bent in the required direction. When the thermocouple is screwed in, the braking system is then vented through its thread. The temperature measurement of the brake fluid, along with the brake disc surface measurement, also supplies important control values for a successful and safe race. During long races or races with many downhill routes, the brake disc overheats over-proportionally. The accruing radiation heat during this has a direct effect on the brake fluid, respectively heats it up. Depending on the type of brake fluid being used, it already reaches its boiling point at approx. 140–260 °C.

The versatile Therma resistance thermometers convince with their precise measurement of fluids in the vehicle. They are optionally available with M6, M5 or M4 male threads. The technical equipment of the resistance sensor offers additional options. It is available as Pt100 or Pt1000, in Class A or optionally also as NTC 10 KΩ. This versatility ensures compatibility with motor sports products and controllers from Bosch. Screw-in resistance thermometer as Pt100 or Pt1000 or NTC 10KOhm

The sheathing thermocouple from Therma is perfect for reliable and fail-safe temperature measurement in the exhaust gas system. It excels with its simple structure. By selecting double-walled sheathing material made of Nimonic75, this thermocouple is well prepared for corrosion influences and vibrations along with extremely high temperatures. Furthermore, assembly with a compression-type fitting lets you decide the installation length onsite. Sheathed thermocouples NiCr-Ni, Type “K”, Class 1
