HCP Sense - Surface Damage Detection Technology

HCP Sense offers advanced sensor technology tailored for measuring bearing loads, monitoring lubrication, and crucially, detecting surface damage in rolling bearings at an early stage. The HCP Sense sensor technology is particularly effective in applications operating at very low speeds, where traditional oscillation monitoring fails to detect damage due to minimal vibration production. By directly measuring the electrical characteristics of the bearings, these sensors provide a precise signal unaffected by external noise and environmental vibrations. The technology enables early detection of damage through changes in the impedance signal. Initial roughness peaks on running surfaces create short signal deflections, which smooth over time during running-in. Damage, such as pitting, causes significant deflections in the impedance, allowing for the analysis of damage severity and progression. This capability is beneficial in applications like cylindrical roller bearings, where minor pitting can be tolerated, thus optimizing maintenance and reducing costs.

HCP Sense - Sensor Bearings for Monitoring Load and Lubrication

HCP Sense offers an innovative approach to monitoring load and lubrication in rolling bearings without the need for additional installation space typically required by external force sensors. Utilizing the inherent electrical properties of rolling bearings, HCP Sense's patented technology transforms the bearing itself into a sensor. Each contact point between the rolling element and the bearing rings is viewed as a plate capacitor, with variance in electrical impedance reflecting load changes. This allows real-time monitoring of load forces, seamlessly integrating with condition monitoring and predictive maintenance systems. This technology aids in preventing overload-induced damage, aids in optimizing layout and design processes, and validates simulation models efficiently. Additionally, it includes functions like HCP-LubeSecure for lubrication monitoring and surface damage detection, enhancing the operational lifespan and reliability of industrial machines.

HCP-LubeSecure - Lubrication Monitoring System

The HCP-LubeSecure is an advanced lubrication monitoring system designed to enhance bearing performance by ensuring optimal lubrication conditions. Utilizing cutting-edge sensor technology, it continuously monitors the lubrication conditions of rolling bearings, providing live data on lubricant film formation and preventing direct metallic contact that leads to wear and damage. It operates by distinguishing between different friction states through electrical behavior analysis of the bearing, from capacitive behavior in optimal lubrication to resistive in cases of metallic contact. This potent combination helps prevent over 75% of lubrication-related bearing failures, reduce lubricant consumption by 60%, and decrease energy consumption by up to 40%. With HCP Sense technology, enhance predictive maintenance, maximize uptime, and extend maintenance intervals while capitalizing on greater efficiency and reduced costs.

HCP Sense - Force Measurement Technology with a Sensor Bearing​

HCP Sense offers an innovative sensor bearing solution that eliminates the need for external sensor technology to monitor bearing loads. The system utilizes the intrinsic electrical properties of rolling bearings, requiring only an electrical contact with the rotating and stationary parts. This patent-protected technology leverages the capacitive properties of the rolling elements and rings, wherein the lubricant acts as a dielectric. Fluctuations in the electrical impedance correlate with changes in load, offering insights into process forces without the need for additional installation space. This integration not only simplifies load monitoring by embedding data into existing condition monitoring systems but also aids in preventing damage through overload detection, enhances system reliability, and assists in simulation model validation. Additionally, the HCP Sense sensor bearing offers complementary functions like HCP-LubeSecure for lubrication monitoring and surface damage detection.
