A temperature monitoring system and method of utilization thereof is provided that provides the freedom of direct temperature determination from a friction plate (often referred to as a disc) or clutch friction separator plate in a clutch friction pack. The temperature monitoring system includes a temperature sensor which is placed on the friction disc or friction separator plate. An induction coil is placed on the friction disc or friction separator plate which provides placement for the temperature sensor. A magnet is provided to provide a magnetic field for the induction coil in order to generate current to power the temperature sensor. An antenna may also be provided which allows the temperature electronic data to be transmitted to a remote receiver. |
