Title:
BEARING POWER GENERATING CONFIGURATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/160098
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A power generating bearing assembly (100) comprising a power generating subassembly (200, 300) integrated into a bearing (110). The power generating subassembly (300) utilizes the relative motion between a bearing inner ring (112) and a bearing outer ring (116) of the bearing (110) to generate electrical power. A sealing system (320) is attached to one of the bearings (112, 116). The power generating subassembly (300) includes an electrical generator (310) in operational engagement with a magnetically polarized material (324). The electrical generator (310) is attached to the non-sealing carrying bearing (112, 116). The magnetically polarized material (324) is integrated into a supported member, which is a unitary section of the seal that extends axially from an end surface of the bearing rings. The relative motion between the rings (112, 116) engages the electrical generator (310) and the magnetically polarized material (324) causing a generator core (312) of the electrical generator (310) to create an electrical current.
