I have one on my 1440 lathe but not on the tailstock.

Built an rtd sleeve for work yesterday.

Bearing temperature probe?

Bearing temperature probe?

It's a sump pit cooling water probe. With the new regs, we have to install cooling water temp probes on the incoming, outgoing and sump pit.

What application is this? I'm a plumber and curious.

We've got cooling water lines going to our journal bearings. The cooling water is hard piped into the tailrace of the powerhouse, but also travel through the sump pit that collects the shaft seal water. This RTD will drop into a pipe in the sump pit and monitor sump water temperature.

Nice description.

 

[Stevendavis]

A little addition!

 

[TonyHallo]

Nice addition, I want one.
What will you use for coolant?
