“…Physical effect catalogues, e.g. according to Koller (1998) or Roth (2000) respectively, were developed to identify a physical effect or a chain of physical effects realising a given function within the considered system borders. According to Vorwerk-Handing (2021), these are in principle suitable for establishing a connection between a variable of interest and potential measured variables, but have two main limitations if one aims to identify cause-effect relationships in form of effect chains.…”

“…In addition, sensing machine elements provide in-situ data, which also enables in-process monitoring of the overall system. The sensing rolling bearing developed by Schirra et al (2018), the sensing hydrodynamic plain bearing by Harder and Kirchner (2019), or the sensing timing belt by Grosskurth and Martin (2019) are current examples of the increased development of sensing machine elements. The current approach to the development of sensing machine elements is mainly based on experience about metrologically usable relationships.…”

Close to process measuring improves the data quality of a condition monitoring process. A possibility to access such measurements comes with the addition of a sensory function in machine elements. For a systematic development of sensing machine elements, an approach is presented for the identification of possible measurands to determine a variable of interest. Based on a modelling of physical causeeffect- relationships by using an effect matrix and an effect catalogue it allows to consider both direct and indirect measurements for the determination of measurands in technical systems.The presented approach is initially applied to develop a sensory solution for self-lubricated fibrecomposite sliding bearings. The aim is to measure a variable of interest that can give a conclusion about the estimated remaining useful lifetime. The development process is described and possible solutions for measurement concepts are presented. The electrical capacity measurement, evaluated as the most promising concept, is described in detail and experimental results are presented.These results show the applicability of the sensory concept and therefore, the benefits of the presented approach.

“…For load measurement using the electrical impedance of rolling bearings, the effect is used that, under elastohydrodynamic operating conditions, the dielectric lubricant separates the surfaces of the rolling element and the outer or inner ring, respectively (Schirra et al, 2018). This setup of two conductive bodies separated by a dielectric effectively creates a measurable capacitance.…”

“…Here the focus is especially on rolling bearings, since these are machine elements which are used in almost every application (Vogel and Kirchner, 2019). Several approaches using different technologies have been presented in the literature (Brecher et al, 2014;Brecher et al, 2019;Schirra et al, 2018;Winkelmann, 2014). The data measured with the sensing machine elements is used to perform predictive maintenance or to increase productivity by monitoring the process.…”

In this paper the development process of a sensing rolling bearing is presented, from which finally design rules for sensing machine elements are derived. In the first step, the requirements of the users are determined. It turns out user of sensing machine elements want to continue to use the advantage of the standardized machine elements and costs should not be incurred by redesign or complex assembly. With these requirements the development of the sensing rolling bearing is started, in which the different presented technologies are reviewed for their suitability regarding the requirements. With the selected technology measuring the electric rolling bearing impedance to estimate rolling bearing loads, a first prototype is developed by creating a functional structure of the product and focusing on the partial solution of the most relevant partial functions. This prototype is then tested with regard to its functionality. Finally, generalizable design rules for sensing machine elements are derived from the development.

This contribution summarizes the current state of research regarding so‐called sensor‐integrating machine elements as an enabler of digitalization in mechanical engineering and——if available—their application in industry. The focus is on the methodical aspects of the development of these machine elements in general as well as specific sensor‐integrating machine elements that are either already in use or currently under development. Developmental aspects include the robust design of initially evaluated concepts for sensor‐integrating machine elements as well as their modularization. Smart materials with sensory functions are included in the analysis as well as the differentiation with regard to add‐on sensors. The aim of the authors interlinked by a special research program funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) is to facilitate the exchange with other researchers with the help of the comprehensive overview given in this contribution. The contribution concludes with a brief discussion of open challenges, such as the energy supply and data transfer in rotating systems and also data security.
