Abstract
The condition of couplings needs to be monitored to predict when they need to be serviced or replaced. Various studies have shown the applicability of Hall-sensors in measuring the position of rotating shafts. The results of these investigations were applied in this research to create a set up for measuring commonly occurring problems in couplings such as shaft misalignment and backlash due to wear. Over the course of this research, it was observed that Hall-sensors were a reliable tool to obtain continuous and contactless measurement of factors related to the condition of the coupling. The application of Hall-sensors aided in the development of a low-cost coupling condition monitoring system. However, the system was sensitive to several external factors which makes retrofitting challenging.
