Abstract
An electronic device for monitoring a suction roller includes a bearing module configured to monitor a bearing of the suction roller. The bearing module includes an accelerometer and a temperature circuit that are configured to monitor positioning and temperature, respectively, of the bearing of the suction roller. The bearing module includes an enclosure that has both the accelerometer and the temperature circuit therein. Related methods and systems are also described.
Claims20
An electronic device for monitoring a suction roller, the electronic device comprising:
- a bearing module configured to monitor a bearing of the suction roller,
- wherein the bearing module comprises an accelerometer and a temperature circuit that are configured to monitor positioning and temperature, respectively, of the bearing of the suction roller, and
- wherein the bearing module comprises an enclosure that includes both the accelerometer and the temperature circuit therein.
A method for monitoring a bearing of a suction roller, the method comprising:
- monitoring, by a positioning circuit, a position of the bearing of the suction roller;
- and
- monitoring, by a temperature circuit, a temperature associated with the bearing of the suction roller,
- wherein the positioning circuit and the temperature circuit are both in an enclosure that is mounted in the suction roller.
A bearing monitoring circuit for monitoring a suction roller, the bearing monitoring circuit comprising:
- an accelerometer that is configured to monitor positioning of a bearing of the suction roller, and
- a temperature circuit that is configured to monitor temperature of the bearing of the suction roller,
- wherein the accelerometer and the temperature circuit are in a single enclosure that is mounted in the suction roller.
