SENSOR ASSEMBLY FOR A WIND TURBINE BEARING AND RELATED SYSTEM AND METHOD |
| 摘要 |
A bearing for a wind turbine may generally include an outer race, an inner race and a plurality of roller elements positioned radially between the inner and outer races, with the roller elements including a first roller element and a second roller element. The bearing may also include a sensor assembly having a load sensor positioned between the first and second roller elements. When the sensor assembly is compressed between the first and second roller elements during operation of the wind turbine, the load sensor is configured to detect a compressive load transferred through the sensor assembly. |

1. A bearing for a wind turbine, the bearing comprising:
an outer race; an inner race; a plurality of roller elements positioned radially between the inner and outer races, the plurality of roller elements including a first roller element and a second roller element; and a sensor assembly including a load sensor positioned between the first and second roller elements,
a first housing component positioned adjacent to the first roller element;a second housing component positioned adjacent to the second roller element; anda load sensor positioned between the first and second housing components, wherein, when the sensor assembly is compressed between the first and second roller elements during operation of the wind turbine, the load sensor is configured to detect a compressive load transferred through the sensor assembly. |
