  • Engine accessory disconnect system
    Patent number: 10393196
    Abstract: An example system for disconnecting a driven member from a driving member is described. The system includes a vibration detection device configured to output vibration signals indicative of vibration levels of the driven member. The system also includes a controller including at least one processor. The controller is arranged to (i) determine that a vibration signal output by the vibration detection device satisfies a threshold condition and (ii) based at least on the determination that the vibration signal satisfies the threshold condition, trigger a mechanical disconnection of the driven member from the driving member by a mechanical disconnect device.
