Estimating the term…
The system allows to monitor the operation of a flexible coupling device that connects a first rotary machine to a second rotary machine of a plant and transmits rotation and torque from the first machine to the second machine; at a first side a first hub of the device is connected to a first stub of a first shaft of the first machine and at a second side a second hub of the device is connected to a second stub of a second shaft of the second machine; the system comprises one or more detectors arranged to detect the relative rotation angle between at least two components selected between the first hub, the second hub, the first stub, the second stub, and an electronic processing unit connected to the one or more detectors for receiving signals generated by the detectors.
A method of monitoring the operation of a flexible coupling device, wherein the flexible coupling device comprises on a first side a first hub and on a second side a second hub, the method comprising the steps of:
A system for monitoring the operation of a flexible coupling device, wherein at a first side a first hub of the device is connected to a first stub of a first shaft and at a second side a second hub of the device is connected to a second stub of a second shaft, the system comprising:
A plant comprising a first rotary machine, a second rotary machine, and a flexible coupling device for transmitting rotation from a first shaft of the first rotary machine to a second shaft of the second rotary machine, wherein the plant comprises further a system for monitoring the operation of the flexible coupling device.
