Vibration-Based Sensor Design to Detect Lubrication Levels
Track/Summit: Aerospace and Defense Summit
Session ID#: TS2420
Abstract: Lubrication loss causes many gear and bearing system failures, so finding the most effective and efficient method to detect it in a closed mechanical lubrication system is important. At this session, examine tests performed on two ground vehicle differentials to determine if a vibration sensor and an NI DAQ system could detect lubrication levels. The tests showed a correlation between the vibration and lubrication levels. Learn how you can determine the lubrication level of the differential by monitoring these vibrations.
