  • System for monitoring bearings and other rotating equipment
    Patent number: 4237454
    Abstract: A self-powered monitor unit with a tuned mechanical resonator power unit and a radio transmitter is mounted on every piece of rotating equipment being monitored, such as machinery with ball bearings. Bearing vibrations are sensed and the generation of a defect signal triggers the transmission of a radio signal modulated to identify the source. A central station receives and demodulates an emitted radio signal and displays the location with a fault condition. Large numbers of equipment can be monitored conveniently by unattended units.
