- 47 A temperature sensor device configured to be reversibly fixed to an outer surface of an undercarriage component, wherein the sensor device comprises a container having a hollow body, a magnetic element attached 5 to a bottom wall of the hollow body, externally to the container, wherein the magnetic element is configured to reversibly magnetically fix the container to an outer surface of an undercarriage component, as a contact surface; a temperature transducer housed inside the cavity and configured to output electrical signals indicative of temperature; an 10 electronic sensor module housed inside the cavity of the container hollow body, operatively connected to the temperature transducer and configured to receive the electrical signals indicative of temperature from the temperature transducer, the electronic module comprising a sensor wireless transmitter configured to generate measurement signals 15 wirelessly, and an electrical power source housed inside the cavity and operatively connected to the electronic sensor module. The invention further relates to an undercarriage assembly comprising a temperature sensor device and a temperature monitoring system of at least one undercarriage component using said sensor device.
