  • Method and system for monitoring the function of a lubricated machine element
    Patent number: 10481042
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring the function of a machine element lubricated by a lubricant. The method includes receiving measured values concerning the lubricant, determining a current chemical composition of the lubricant on the basis of the measured values, comparing the current chemical composition with chemical compositions known in advance, which are stored in a database, wherein function failure tendency values for the use of lubricants having the chemical compositions known in advance in connection with machine elements composed of materials known in advance are stored in the database, identifying a function failure tendency value on the basis of the comparison step, and outputting the function failure tendency value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 26, 2014
    Date of Patent: November 19, 2019
    Assignee: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO. KG
    Inventors: Walter Holweger, Marcus Wolf, Matthias Goss
  • Method for operating a bearing arrangement
    Patent number: 9828680
    Abstract: A method for operating a bearing arrangement (1) including at least one rolling bearing (2). The method provides for applying a positive electric potential to a bearing part (3) of the rolling bearing (2), another part (4) of the bearing arrangement (1) being connected as a cathode, and a current flowing between the bearing part (3) and the cathode (4) is limited.
