    Thin-film sensors on thrust bearing washers for temperature measurement directly in the mechanical rolling contact
    (2025) Steppeler, Tobias; Konopka, Dennis; Ottermann, Rico; Pape, Florian; Dencker, Folke; Poll, Gerhard; Marian, Max; Wurz, Marc
    The article shows the production and evaluation of directly deposited thin-film temperature sensors on a thrust cylindrical roller bearing washer in and near the tribo-mechanical rolling contact. The produc-tion was carried out using sputtering, photolithography and etching processes. Due to the frictional forces, a 12 % (3.6 °C) higher temperature was measured in the mechanical rolling contact and a 5.3 % (1.6 °C) higher temperature near the mechanical rolling contact compared with the conventional temperature sensor on the outside of the bearing washer.
