Abstract
The development and the implementation of advanced actuation systems has increased in recent years, as many factors are driving the migration from hydraulic actuators to electromechanical actuators (EMAs) in aeronautics. But not only do we have to consider the right design to customize the system from the requirements oriented to the final application, also additional functions that can provide the system with additional value, to make it more competitive in this market. This is the case of the Health Monitoring (HM) systems. The development, implementation and integration of predictive algorithms into the environment of the EMA provide the system with an additional functionality, from which it is possible to detect failures at an early stage in order to avoid catastrophic accidents and improve maintenance activities. This work shows how to develop HM algorithms based on AI and Statistical technologies to detect and predict early stages of failure in a gearbox, which can directly affect to the transmission of power in EMAs.
