Arrangement of a device for monitoring the operating state of bearings, particularly of sliding bearings arranged in crank assemblies in machines, especially internal-combustion engines, with a large number of bearings, by determining the instantaneous state of the bearing lubricant, at least one catchment device with known measurement sensors being fitted in the path of the lubricant emerging from the bearing, in the immediate vicinity of each individual bearing to be monitored, and matched to the structural characteristics, this measurement sensor being connected to an evaluation unit in which the measured values determined by the measurement sensors can be stored separately for each bearing and/or can be indicated and/or recorded, and the catchment device being provided with measurement sensors for determining the temperature of the lubricant emerging from the respective bearing to be monitored and being provided with impact measurement sensors or fluid sensors for the lubricant, and with these impact measurement sensors or fluid sensors being mounted directly in the spraying region of the lubricant sprayed out of the respective bearing. |
