Application Note: Fixed Wing Wireless Health Monitoring

LORD MicroStrain Sensing Systems for Fixed Wing Health Monitoring

By monitoring aircraft component health, operators and manufacturers are able to more accurately detect defects, premature wear, and other issues that result in increased maintenance costs and unexpected downtime. Monitoring conditions such as vibration, strain, and noise can also result in safer operation, as well as a more pleasant experience for crew and passengers.

 

Wireless health monitoring:

∙ Eliminates need for bulky, intrusive wires

∙ Is easy to install and maintain

∙ Can be customized to any aircraft type

∙ Samples continuously at a high rate

∙ Allows data storage, review, and analysis with LORD MicroStrain's SensorCloud™ platform

LORD MicroStrain Wins Manufacturing Leadership Award

On-Rotor Helicopter HUM System Powered by Vibration Energy Harvesting

 

LORD MicroStrain was recently selected by Energy Harvesting Journal for having the "Best Technical Development of an Energy Harvesting Device." 

 

LORD Microstrain was selected for the development of its On-Rotor Helicopter HUM (Health & Usage Monitoring) System Powered by Vibration Energy Harvesting. The award was announced on Nov. 20 at the opening day of the IDTechEx event.

 

The goal of the On-Rotor HUM system is to monitor the temperature and vibration of the main swashplate bearing, as indicators of that bearing's health. The system consists of a vibration energy harvester which powers a wireless sensor node integrated into a 90x50x50mm enclosure mounted on the rotating side of the swashplate.
