Selection of Temperature Sensor for Universal Joint Cross [Monitoring]

I wish to deploy 4 temperature sensors across all four wings of Universal Joint cross. To monitor temperature of Grease (lubricant) in wings of UJ Cross. This cross is found in automotive vehicle.

Considering the harsh environment to deploy this sensor with PCB built around it. I appreciate any suggestions on suitable sensor either analog or digital sensor. Thanks you in dvance.

These ones are suitable for immersion and fluid monitoring type of applications. This particular one has ±0.1°C accuracy over the range of 25°C to 50°C. It's all analog and will require to do the conversion in the controller through ADC.

Hi@Navadeep, thanks for your quick response. The Disposable Sensor is for the Human body and may not work for us. I'm looking for a sensor that can sustain in harsh environments/in-shocks, especially on moving vehicles.

Would like to know your opinion about DM507 RTD (Analog Sensor) from Labfacility or suggest any other alternative?

I'll have to design some kind of mounting for the sensor in the UJ Cross

Attached are the images of ideas for deployment

Looking forward to hearing suggestions/thoughts

Thanking you!
