Problems solved by technology

However, sometimes due to localized or prevailing pressure, temperature, viscosity conditions, the thickness of the lubricant film may be insufficient, or interruptions may occur in the lubricant film, which allow the meshing gears to contact each other and / or may produce excessive friction and Potential abrasive and / or adhesive wear
Additionally, sometimes contaminants can be present in the lubricant film, which can also damage gear components

Abstract

Systems and methods of monitoring lubrication of a gear assembly during operation of a machine (102) provide for receiving at a control system (120), a signal from a sensor (118) indicative of a valueobtained by the sensor (118) for an electrical property of a circuit (300) crossing the gear assembly (102) operably coupled to the machine (102), ascertaining whether the value for the electrical property corresponds to a warning level for a condition of the lubricant film (220), and outputting a control command (220) when the value for the electrical property corresponds to the warning level for the condition of the lubricant film.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to gear assemblies and systems and methods for monitoring gear assemblies, including systems and methods for detecting wear, contamination, insufficient lubrication, etc., in gear assemblies (eg, epicyclic gear assemblies). Background technique [0002] When lubrication becomes insufficient, gear assemblies can cause wear or damage. Typically, gear assemblies receive lubrication intended to provide a film of lubricant on the gear surfaces that prevents the gears from contacting each other. However, sometimes due to localized or prevailing pressure, temperature, viscosity conditions, the thickness of the lubricant film may be insufficient, or interruptions may occur in the lubricant film, which allow the meshing gears to contact each other and / or may produce excessive friction and Potential abrasive and / or adhesive wear. Additionally, sometimes contaminants may be present in the lubricant film, which may also d...
