NONSHIFTABLE COUPLING WITH TORQUE MONITORING

摘要

Device (10) for transferring torques from a first machine component (13) to a second machine component (12), particularly in a wind turbine (11), said device comprising a first connecting hub (19) for connecting to the first machine component (13), a second connecting hub (21) for connecting to the second machine component (12), and an intermediate tube (20), particularly made of glass fibre reinforced plastic, which is fixed at a first end to the first connecting hub (19) and at a second end to the second connecting hub (21), characterised in that the device (10) has at least one torque sensor (23), particularly an elongation measuring sensor, which is arranged on the first connecting hub (19) or on the second connecting hub (21).

主权项

1. A coupling for transmitting torque from a first machine part to a second machine part in a wind turbine, the coupling comprising:
a first connecting hub for connection to the first machine part, a second connecting hub for connection to the second machine part, an intermediate tube of fiberglass reinforced plastic, extending along an axis, and having a first end connected to the first connecting hub and an axially opposite second end connected to the second connecting hub, and at least one strain-gauge torque sensor mounted on the first connecting hub or on the second connecting hub.
