Abstract
In a device for measuring the temperatures of axles and/or bearings to locate hot-boxes or overheated brakes in rolling stock, in which the infrared rays of the measuring points are directed onto an infrared receiver ( ) via an oscillating mirror ( ), whereby infrared rays emitted transversely to the longitudinal direction of the rails are detected in the scanning plane defined by the oscillation of the oscillating mirror ( ), at least two deviation mirrors ( ) are arranged within the scanning plane at a distance (a) from one another transverse to the longitudinal direction of the rails. The deviated infrared rays of the deviation mirrors ( ) are detected in a chronological sequence in accordance with the oscillation of the oscillating mirror ( ).
