“…[21] Finally, some machine elements comprise physical effects that can themselves be used as sensors as for instance the lubricating film in hydrodynamically operated rolling element bearings; hence, we talk about sensory utilizable machine elements. [22][23][24] The extension from machine elements to the more general case of design elements is discussed in Harder et al [2] and Kraus et al [25] Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a gearbox using senor-integrating machine elements, which are discussed in the present work.…”

“…Capacitive effects are the basis of the sensory concept for rolling element bearings, in which the isolating lubrication film thickness depends on temperature, relative speed, and bearing load and can be used to calculate the current load and speed as described by Martin et al, [22] Schirra et al [23,24] and Kirchner et al [48] Similarly, the capacitive effect can also be detected in hydrodynamic journal bearings, [2,49] and even in dry lubricated sliding bearings. [50] The idea to use the electric property of the (hydrodynamic) lubrication film as such was used even earlier to estimate the lubrication film thickness as an application in machine elements.…”

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.

“…Design elements in general and machine elements in particular have characteristic electrical properties [6]. Structural components, such as shafts or gearbox housings, tend to have a resistive behavior at low frequencies and an increasingly inductive behavior at high frequencies [7].…”

Failures of machine elements can cause critical machine breakdowns, e.g. bearing damage accounts for almost 20% of all machine failures. Hence, monitoring machine elements is of particular importance for condition monitoring of gearboxes. Therefore, new approaches based on electrical impedance analysis are proposed in literature, e.g. for the measurement of rolling bearing load or damage condition with so-called sensory utilizable machine elements (SuME). For this approach, an electrical signal is transmitted through the structure to be observed and the resulting impedance is measured. With this technique it is possible to detect loads and damages not only for bearings, but also for the entire gearbox. Another application of this method can be the transmission of electrical signals through machine elements and the gearbox themselves. However, uncertainty arises with regard to the distinct signal transmission in these processes, mainly due to parasitic capacitances. In this contribution, the disturbing factors on the measured impedance of a gearbox at different working points are investigated. For this purpose, disturbance factors are systematically identified and used as basis for a full factorial experimental design for screening the operational characteristics of a gearbox. The data obtained from the tests is analyzed to identify correlations between the disturbance factors and parasitic capacitances. The experiments show a speed- and torque-dependent behavior of the parasitic capacitances in a gearbox. These results can be used for further research of SuME and structure-integrated energy supply and signal paths as well as the evaluation of related measurement data by reducing the associated uncertainty.

“…The idea of using the inherent physical properties of a not necessarily standardized design element within a sensory function is based on a similar approach by Vorwerk-Handing et al [11] and was first introduced by Kraus et al [12] in the context of the measurement of the opening degree of an industry valve. Those two ideas were taken up by Harder et al [13] and restructured into the Sensing Design Elements classification, of which the Sensory utilizable Design Elements (SuDE) are of special interest for this work. SuDE include all standardized as well as non-standardized design elements which show a certain physical characteristic, which can be exploited for a sensory function, e.g.…”

Gaining accurate data from technical systems has become of interest, particularly in the context of condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Hereby it is important to gather precise and reliable data. To accomplish this task, various sensors with different physical effects are used. Depending on the sensor's position and measurand, different models are necessary to describe the path from the desired variable of interest to the actual measured one. To support designers, a physical effect catalog was digitalized using a graph data structure, which uses the inherent properties of a graph to represent physical variables, physical effects and their relationships. This graph structure together with its applicability in a sensor selection process will be shown in this paper.
