Detecting wear of track link pin based on sensor data of a sensor device provided in a cavity of the track link pin

A method performed by one or more devices of a machine, the method comprising:

• determining, by a sensor device of the machine, an electrical property of a wear measuring component of the sensor device,
• the sensor device being provided in a first cavity of a track link pin of a track assembly of the machine,
• the wear measuring component extending from the first cavity through a second cavity of the track link pin to an outer surface of the track link pin;
• determining, by the sensor device, a length of the wear measuring component based on the electrical property;
• generating, by the sensor device, sensor data indicating an amount of wear of the outer surface based on the length of the wear measuring component;
• and
• providing, by the sensor device, the sensor data to a controller of the machine to cause the controller to provide a notification regarding the amount of wear of the outer surface.

A machine comprising:

• a track assembly that includes a component having a first cavity and a second cavity extending from the first cavity to an outer surface of the component;
• and
• a sensor device configured to be provided in the first cavity of the component, the sensor device being configured to:
• determine an electrical property of a wear measuring component of the sensor device,
• the wear measuring component extending from the first cavity through the second cavity to the outer surface;
• determine a length of the wear measuring component based on the electrical property, and
• generate sensor data indicating an amount of wear of the outer surface based on the length of the wear measuring component;
• and
• a controller configured to provide a notification based on the amount of wear of the outer surface indicated by the sensor data.
