Abstract

Advances in microsensor production, miniaturization, and electronics have enabled smart
devices to monitor and control operating conditions. These innovations can optimize
conventional machine elements, extending their life cycles. Research is now focused on
integrating sensors and signal processing into components like bearings, couplings, and
sealing rings, transforming them into smart systems.
As part of a collaboration between the research institutes IMKT¹, IMPT², and IMS³
Hannover (rolling bearings), MEGT⁴ and EMS⁵ Kaiserslautern (shaft seal), IMM⁶, IFKM⁷,
and IHM⁸ Dresden (elastic couplings), and IKAT⁹ and AFL¹⁰ Chemnitz (feather key), a joint
platform is created from the individual solutions, which will be combined in a demonstrator.
For this purpose, the sensor-integrated axial roller bearing is used on a test bench to
measure temperature and strains. The lubricant condition, contact temperature of the
seal as well as seal friction are measured via the sensor integrated shaft seal. Forces of the
system are recorded via the intelligent coupling and feather key.
The data is processed separately via the measurement electronics and merged via a joint
condition monitoring system. The test rig serves as a demonstrator for the horizontal
integration of sensor-integrating machine elements based on the OPC UA standard. The
project deals with the planned feasibility of a technology carrier as a demonstrator.
