  • Patent number: 11150128
    Abstract: A detector arrangement, for selective detection of vibrations on a component, comprises a film fitted with at least one piezoelectric element. The film is attached to the component in such a way that occurring mechanical vibrations act on the piezoelectric element, such that an electrical charge with a frequency correlating with the mechanical vibration is generated at the connection electrodes of the piezoelectric element. An electrical filter is connected to the piezoelectric element and filters out the component of the supplied charge which corresponds to a predefined frequency. An electrical charge storage means which is connected to the filter is used to accumulate the filtered-out charge components. A signaling means is also provided, which generates an electrical signal as soon as a predetermined charge limit value is reached on the charge storage means.

  • Publication number: 20190017899
    Abstract: A method, comprising recording the number of rotations of a first bearing race in relation to a second bearing race in a roller bearing, recording counts of at least one indicator, wherein at least one indicator indicates a revolutions of a plurality of rolling elements about the second bearing race, calculating a ratio between the recorded counts of the at least one indicator with a recorded number of revolutions of the first bearing race, comparing the calculated ratios with a corresponding ideal value for the ratio, wherein the corresponding ideal value is determined without friction fit-induced slip, determining a difference in the comparison, and outputting the difference as an average friction fit-induced slip for the plurality of rolling elements.

  • Patent number: 10047781
    Abstract: A coating system applicator component, e.g. a valve or bell cup, which may be used to be wetted and/or flown through at least in some sections by a coating agent, is provided. The applicator component includes a cylindrical holding part configured to releasably couple a mount of the coating system, as well as an applicator thread on the holding part. The applicator thread includes first and second applicator flank surfaces each obliquely oriented to a radial direction of the holding part, the first and second applicator flank surfaces being asymmetric about the radial direction of the holding part. The first and second applicator flank surfaces are configured to be parallel to and interface with first and second mount flank surfaces of a thread of the mount, respectively, upon a coaxial, threaded engagement between the holding part and the mount.
