Claims9
An arrangement, comprising:
- a power unit configured to make power for the arrangement;
- and
- a pumping unit connected to the power unit, comprising:
- a hydraulic cylinder with a piston within the cylinder, wherein the piston is configured to move from a first position to a second position, the hydraulic cylinder configured to operate with a fluid delivered from a fluid system;
- a structural arrangement configured near the hydraulic cylinder;
- and
- a sensor package configured to be attached to the structural arrangement, the sensor package configured to measure a feature of the arrangement during operation wherein the sensor package is at least two tilt sensors, wherein each of the tilt sensors is configured to measure a different plane;
- and
- a side load control system connected to the pumping unit, the side load control configured to prevent a side load developed during running of the arrangement.
