  • Patent number: 11378491
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for an integrated monitoring system to monitor several operational aspects of a bearing assembly, analyze monitored aspects, provide predictions, alerts, and reports based on general equipment data or specific rotating machine data. A number of sensors in and on a bearing housing may sense a variety of operational aspects and provide input to a local or remote monitoring device. The bearing housing may include sensor mounting locations for one or more sensors. In some examples, an oil level sensor placed in a suitable mounting location on the bearing housing may detect oil levels inside the bearing housing. The monitoring device may analyze the sensor inputs in light of other information such as historic performance data, environmental information, etc. Reports, predictions, alerts, and/or suggested corrective actions may be generated based on the analysis by the monitoring device and/or remote devices communicatively coupled to the monitoring device.
