Abstract
The invention relates to a chain elongation monitoring device having a first differential transformer, a second differential transformer, and a control for recording the measured values, wherein the second differential transformer is arranged at a fixed distance from the first differential transformer, and a method for operating the chain elongation monitoring device.
Claims29
A chain elongation monitoring device (200) comprising
- a first differential transformer (210),
- a second differential transformer (220),
- a control (340) for recording the measured values,
- wherein the second differential transformer (220) is arranged at a fixed distance from the first differential transformer (210).

A method (1) for determining the elongation of segments of a chain (100) during operation, which has the following steps:
- detecting a first signal from a first differential transformer (210),
- determining the position of a first chain component of a chain (100) from the first signal,
- detecting a second signal from a second differential transformer (220) determining the position of a second chain component of a chain (100) from the second signal,
- determining the distance between the first and the second chain component.
