Onboard Hot Bearing Detection
Hot Bearing Detectors
Hot bearing Detectors (HBD) are used to measure the temperature of the bearings of a locomotive or a railcar axle thanks to 3C Telemetry's technology.The HBD detects the presence of an overheated wheel bearing and alerts the train crew. A hot bearing can lead to fractures of axle journals that might cause a derailment. With over 1600 derailments per year in North America alone, Hot Bearings are one of the main causes, and can lead to other very dangerous situations as well as significant wear and tear. Reducing HBD events decrease faults and help ensure a safe railway operation. 3C Telemetry LLC is a leader with ONBOARD monitoring for HBD's for locomotives and railcars alike.
