CoRoM MAN 51/60

Prevent catastrophic failures and astronomical repair costs with batteryless sensor technology that analyzes the massive thermal loads of MAN 51/60 engines in seconds. Meet the world's most durable wireless & batteryless bearing tracking system.

A World First: Batteryless Connecting Rod Big-End Bearing Temperature Sensor

Developed for MAN 51/60 engines, CoRoM-MN5160 is the world's first wireless and batteryless real-time bearing temperature monitoring sensor, mounted directly on the connecting rod big-end bearing.

Vibration Energy Harvesting

Generates its own energy from the engine's natural vibration with patented technology. A 'plug-and-forget' architecture requiring no battery replacement, cabling, or external power source.

Critical Bearing & Crankshaft Protection

Detects bearing wear or lubrication anomalies within seconds before permanent damage is caused to the crankshaft, minimizing million-dollar repair risks.

Flawless Digital Integration

Transmits data over BLE to the Wi-GaTe system and from there to SCADA, HMI, or ESCOM-es Dashboard in seconds. Delivers a complete Industry 4.0 experience.

RISK MANAGEMENT IN MAN 51/60 ENGINES

Devastating Energy in Heavy Equipment

In massive engines like the MAN 51/60, connecting rod bearings operate under extreme thermal and mechanical loads. Any wear or lubrication interruption triggers a chain reaction that can render the engine block and crankshaft unusable within seconds.

Inadequacy of Reactive Systems

Conventional oil mist detectors (OMD) or splash oil analyzers can only react after physical damage has already reached an advanced stage. This reactive approach drives repair costs to millions of dollars before identifying which cylinder's bearing has seized.

Detection at the Source with CoRoM

CoRoM-MN5160 captures temperature rise directly at the bearing surface long before metal melting begins or smoke appears. This proactive warning system eliminates unplanned downtime, raising your operational safety to the highest level.

Frequently Asked Questions

A single connecting rod bearing seizure in MAN 51/60 engines can cause the engine block to crack or render the crankshaft unusable. By measuring heat directly at the connecting rod bearing metal, CoRoM warns at a stage far earlier than oil mist detectors could ever sense. This critical advantage is the only absolute solution to prevent million-dollar repair costs and months of unplanned downtime.

OMD systems only trigger after a bearing has already begun melting and producing smoke, which is often a 'too late' warning. Also, OMD does not specify which cylinder is faulty. CoRoM is 'proactive'; it detects deviations in temperature trends long before smoke appears and provides the exact location information to accelerate intervention.

The extreme vibration and internal temperatures exceeding 100°C in MAN 51/60 engines cause batteries to discharge rapidly or risk explosion. CoRoM converts this vibration into electricity with patented 'Energy Harvesting' technology to offer unlimited operational life. The wireless design eliminates the risk of cable breakage on rotating parts and ensures zero maintenance costs (OPEX).

No. CoRoM-MN5160 is mounted in seconds with a high-strength design specifically developed for the MAN 51/60 connecting rod geometry. No drilling, threading, or structural modifications are made to any engine parts; thus, the engine warranty is preserved, and installation takes only 15 minutes per cylinder.

Absolutely. Considering the thermal mass of MAN 51/60 engines, the 1-second sampling rate is far above the safety limits required to capture sudden temperature rises. When the system detects any anomaly, it reacts with its smart algorithms, saving the operator critical seconds.

CoRoM-MN5160 is not just an alarm device but a data terminal. It records the thermal history of all bearings, and through analyses on the ESCOM-es Dashboard, it determines which bearing needs overhaul. This ensures bearings are replaced exactly on time, not unnecessarily, saving significant spare parts costs.

Removing, grinding, or renewing a MAN 51/60 crankshaft is a million-dollar operation. The CoRoM system installed for the entire engine costs a fraction of a percent of this damage. With a single early warning, the system amortizes its cost dozens of times over (ROI), directly protecting operational profitability.

Our sensor has an IP68 full sealing rating and has been tested to operate continuously under a hot oil bath and extreme G-forces. Fully compliant with international marine standards, the device offers reliable performance with its robust body even in the heaviest sea conditions.

Yes, it has a full IP68 sealing rating. Its resistance to hot oil, marine atmosphere, and extreme vibration has been verified by professional tests. Additionally, with ATEX certification, it can be used safely in explosive environments.
