Smart Sensor for Bearings

ABB launched the ABB Ability Smart Sensor for Dodge mounted bearings. Part of the ABB Ability Digital Powertrain, the solution enables health checks and provides an early indicator of potential problems by assessing vibration and temperature information, the company reported. The sensor uses algorithms to assess, manage and ensure the performance of components. It mounts to the bearing and communicates wirelessly via a smartphone. Timely warnings of potential problems can help prevent downtime on conveyors, the company reported.
