Load monitoring for electromechanical systems

A method for determining a load on a driven component (10) of a rotating or stationary electromechanical system includes locating a rotationally flexible shaft portion (20) in operable communication with a driving component (12) having a drive rotor (14) rotatable about an axis (26) and the driven c...

Zusammenfassung:A method for determining a load on a driven component (10) of a rotating or stationary electromechanical system includes locating a rotationally flexible shaft portion (20) in operable communication with a driving component (12) having a drive rotor (14) rotatable about an axis (26) and the driven component (10). The shaft portion (20) is operably connected thereto. Angular positions of the drive rotor (14) and the driven component (10) are determined. A magnitude of a load on the driven component (10) is calculated based on a difference in angular position of the drive rotor (14) and the driven component (10) and a known torsional rigidity of the shaft portion (20).
