The present invention relates to a system (S) for measuring the position of a coupling member (1) that comprises a shaft part (2), a first flange (3), a second flange (4) and a first resilient bushing (5), which secures the first flange (3) to the shaft part (2), and a second resilient bushing (6), which secures the second flange (4) to the shaft part (2). Each resilient bushing (5, 6) is arranged with a resilient yield between the respective flange (3, 4) and the shaft part (2). The flanges (3, 4) are intended to be secured to a respective first shaft (7) and second shaft (8). When the coupling member (1) is placed between the first shaft (7) and the second shaft (8), it is intended to transfer a rotation movement from the first shaft (7) to the second shaft (8). The system (S) further comprises at least a first head unit (9) mounted on a first fixture (10), where the first fixture (10) is designed to be mounted between the first flange (3) and the shaft part (2) via existing mounting elements for the first resilient bushing (5). The fixture comprises at least one sensor (15) arranged for position measurement between the first flange (3) and the shaft part (2).
System for measuring the position of a coupling member, where the coupling member comprises a shaft part, a first flange and a second flange, where the coupling member further comprises a first resilient bushing, which secures the first flange to the shaft part, and a second resilient bushing, which secures the second flange to the shaft part, where each resilient bushing is arranged with a resilient yield between the respective flange and the shaft part, where the first flange is intended to be secured to a first shaft and the second flange is intended to be secured to a second shaft, and the coupling member when placed between the first shaft and the second shaft, is intended to transfer a rotation movement from the first shaft to the second shaft, where the system further comprises at least a first head unit mounted on a first fixture, wherein the first fixture is designed to be mounted between the first flange and the shaft part via existing mounting elements for the first resilient bushing, where said fixture comprises at least one sensor arranged for position measurement between the first flange and the shaft part.
System for measuring the position of a coupling member in a wind power plant, where the coupling member comprises a shaft part, a first flange and a second flange, where the coupling member further comprises a first resilient bushing, which secures the first flange to the shaft part, and a second resilient bushing, which secures the second flange to the shaft part, where each resilient bushing is arranged with a resilient yield between the respective flange and the shaft part, where the first flange is intended to be secured to a first shaft and the second flange is intended to be secured to a second shaft, and the coupling member when placed between the first shaft and the second shaft, is intended to transfer a rotation movement from the first shaft to the second shaft, wherein the system comprises means for measuring a first angle (α) between the first flange and the shaft part and a second angle (β) between the second flange and the shaft part.
System for measuring the position of a coupling member, where the coupling member comprises a shaft part, a first flange and a second flange, where the coupling member further comprises a first resilient bushing, which secures the first flange to the shaft part, and a second resilient bushing, which secures the second flange to the shaft part, where each resilient bushing is arranged with a resilient yield between the respective flange and the shaft part, where the first flange is intended to be secured to a first shaft and the second flange is intended to be secured to a second shaft, and the coupling member, when placed between the first shaft and the second shaft, is intended to transfer a rotation movement from the first shaft to the second shaft, where the system further comprises at least a first head unit mounted on a first fixture, wherein the first fixture is designed to be mounted between the first flange and the shaft part, in that said fixture comprises at least one sensor arranged for position measurement between the first flange and the shaft part, in that the system comprises a second fixture designed to be mounted between the second flange and the shaft part, and in that the first fixture and the second fixture are connected via connecting means.
