Cycling voltage to electromechanical brake sensors reduces power consumption and mitigates electro-migration growth in aircraft braking systems.
Replacing complex conductor loops, the brake shoe uses a passive RFID transponder to detect wear accurately without batteries.
A monitoring module calculates inductance from voltage and current to detect armature disk movement in electromagnetic spring brakes.
A strain gage on a brake lever measures stress proportional to applied force, replacing manual visual checks that struggle with in-board unit access.
A pulse induction method measures wear on carbon-ceramic friction discs by detecting substrate conductivity changes through pulsed magnetic fields.
Conductivity sensors track oxidation catalyst exposure events to predict component lifespan and reduce maintenance costs.
