Meet CoRoM WR50
24/7 Autonomous Bearing Monitoring For Wärtsilä 50 Engines
CoRoM Wärtsilä 50
Prevent unplanned downtime and high-cost component damage with real-time thermal data retrieved in seconds from the high-performance internal environment of Wärtsilä 50 engines. Meet the world's most advanced batteryless bearing monitoring technology.
Specially designed for Wärtsilä 50 engines, CoRoM-WR50 is the world's first wireless and batteryless autonomous bearing temperature sensor, mounted directly on the connecting rod big-end bearing.
Generates its own energy from the engine's natural vibration with patented technology. A device with a 'plug-and-forget' architecture requiring no battery changes, cable repairs, or external power supply.
Detects bearing wear or lubrication anomalies in seconds before serious damage is caused to the crankshaft, minimizing your operational risks and increasing safety.
Instantly transmits data over BLE to the Wi-GaTe system and from there to SCADA, HMI, or ESCOM-es Dashboard. Upgrades your Wärtsilä engines to Industry 4.0 standards.
Fast Thermal Rise and Damage
In high-power density engines like the Wärtsilä 50, connecting rod bearings operate under extreme thermal loads. When a lack of lubrication or metal contact begins, damage can spread to the entire crankshaft in seconds.
OMD and Conventional Sensor Limits
Oil mist detectors (OMD) only trigger alarms after smoke has already appeared or a fire risk has formed. At this stage, the crankshaft is already damaged, and finding which cylinder failed takes hours.
CoRoM: Stop Damage at the Source
CoRoM-WR50 notices temperature rise while it is still in the light friction phase, allowing the engine to be protected. Move away from reactive maintenance to a proactive engine management strategy.
Perfect Fit and Fast Mounting
It is installed within minutes with its design fully compatible with the connecting rod geometry of the Wärtsilä 50 engine. Eliminating cabling and modification needs, it saves installation costs.
Advanced Thermal Analysis Capacity
By retrieving temperature data directly from the bearing metal, it detects even the slightest deviation. It keeps your engine's health under digital control every second with smart warning algorithms.
Data-Driven Maintenance and Digital Twin
CoRoM-WR50 produces the most critical data feeding the digital twin of your Wärtsilä engine. Monitor the bearing health of the entire fleet with real-time and historical datasets through the ESCOM-es Dashboard.
Discover the advantages of autonomous monitoring technology with CoRoM-WR50 to prevent unplanned downtime and maximize operational efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
When bearing damage begins in Wärtsilä 50 engines, thermal runaway causes the bearing to weld to the crankshaft in seconds. By measuring directly in the bearing metal, CoRoM warns at a very early stage that OMD systems cannot notice. This critical time is sufficient to save the crankshaft from irreparable damage.
OMD systems only react after a bearing is already burnt and smoke has started. Also, they cannot show which cylinder failed. CoRoM is a proactive sensor; it catches the slightest deviation in temperature trends long before smoke appears and reports it with the exact cylinder number.
CoRoM converts the engine's natural shaking into electrical energy thanks to patented 'Energy Harvesting' technology. This structure requiring no battery changes completely eliminates the disadvantages of batteries, which carry leakage or explosion risks at high temperatures, and offers an unlimited operational life.
No. Our product is installed in seconds with a high-strength clamping system specific to the Wärtsilä 50 connecting rod design. No drilling or threading is performed on any parts of the engine, preserving its warranty and structural integrity.
When Wärtsilä 50 engines' thermal inertia is analyzed, the 1-second sampling rate offers a safe margin to capture sudden rises. Also, our system automatically optimizes response speed when a temperature trend is detected, giving the operator critical intervention time.
CoRoM continuously records the thermal history of all connecting rod bearings. With data presented on the ESCOM-es Dashboard, which bearing needs overhaul is scientifically determined. This saves operating costs by replacing bearings at the right time, not unnecessarily.
The repair of a single W50 crankshaft and ship off-hire cost is at least 25-30 times the cost of a CoRoM set installed for the entire engine. The system pays back its cost in one single day with a single early warning it provides throughout its lifetime, safeguarding operational profitability.
Our sensor has an IP68 full sealing class and is fully resistant to hot oil environments above 120°C. Its CE and ATEX compliant body is manufactured from corrosion-resistant custom composite and stainless parts and has been validated according to the heaviest marine conditions.
Yes. Thanks to the data transmitted to the ESCOM-es Dashboard infrastructure via the Wi-GaTe gateway, you can monitor the bearing health of your Wärtsilä engines in real time from anywhere in the world.
