Title:
SENSOR SET FOR BEARINGS, AND BEARING ARRANGEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/054810
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
First of all, the invention relates to a sensor set in the form of a building block, on the basis of which mechanical bearings can be transformed into sensor bearings. The invention further relates to a bearing arrangement in the form of a sensor bearing. The disclosed sensor set comprises a plurality of modules. The modules include a plurality of functional modules for measuring variables relating to bearing conditions and/or for triggering and/or activating predefined events under predefined conditions. Each of the functional modules has an electrical interface, in respect of which the functional modules are compatible. At least one of the functional modules is formed by an accelerometer module (01) for measuring an acceleration occurring on an oscillating component of the bearing. The accelerometer module (01) is designed to output a measured acceleration signal. The modules further include a plurality of infrastructure modules for performing communication tasks and/or storing and/or processing predefined and/or acquired data. Each of the infrastructure modules has an electrical interface via which same are interoperable with at least some of the functional modules. At least one of the infrastructure modules is formed by a signal evaluation unit for evaluating the measured acceleration signal.
