DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF SOME MECHANICAL WEAR DETECTION SENSORS.
Abstract
Several types of sensors have been developed for the purpose of monitoring the operation and detecting incipient failure of critical mechanical components. They include sensors for in-line quantitative measurement of wear particles present in the lubricant and an integral bearing-sensor for direct measurement of the dynamic force transmitted from a rotating assembly to the structure. These and other, more established, sensors have been applied to several mechanical systems to gain experience in their use and for comparative evaluation of their effectiveness as monitoring and failure detection concepts. Experiments were performed with a small gasoline engine and with a power gear system using commercial gearboxes. (Author)
