Research on Experimental Bench Testing of Wear Metal Particles in Lubricating Oil Based on Self-Excitation and Self-Induction of Coil

Abstract

The on-line monitoring of wear metal particles in lubricating oil plays an important role in equipment fault diagnosis technology. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction and the Biot-Savart law, model structure design, coil production, etc., different from traditional multi-coil excitation detection methods and compared to traditional methods that are only sensitive to large particles, this paper designed a self-excitation and self-induction metal particle monitoring sensor in lubricating oil based on LC resonance. At the same time, a sensor experimental bench is built by combining the production of ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metal particle standards. In addition, through experimental verification, the sensor can achieve monitoring sensitivity for ferromagnetic particles greater than 41.28 μm and non-ferromagnetic (copper) particles greater than 61.53 μm under the 4.2 mm aperture flow channel, realizing the sensitivity on monitoring of small wear ferromagnetic particles and wear metal non-ferromagnetic particles, the experiment showed that it is particularly sensitive to small non-ferromagnetic particles. Based on a wide pipeline radius, the accuracy and sensitivity of the designed single-coil sensing system have been demonstrated.
