===Shaft monitors=== Early combine harvesters used '''simple magnetic pickups''' to monitor the rotation of critical shafts, providing a warning when the shaftโs speed deviated beyond preset limits. These magnetic sensors would send a signal to the operator or the onboard diagnostic system if the shaft rotation became irregular, potentially indicating mechanical issues. Over time, '''temperature sensors''' were integrated into combine harvesters to monitor bearing temperatures, helping to detect overheating caused by insufficient lubrication. Overheated bearings, if undetected, can lead to catastrophic failures, including '''combine fires''', making the integration of these sensors crucial for both safety and performance.
