Abstract: A system may comprise a device. The device may be configured to receive, from one or more sensor devices of the machine, sensor data associated with wear of one or more components of an undercarriage of the machine; and predict, using a machine learning model and the sensor data, an amount wear of the one or more components based on a wear rate of the one or more components. The machine learning model is trained, using training data, to predict the wear rate of the one or more components. The training data includes two or more of: historical sensor data, historical inspection data, or simulation data, of a simulation model, from one or more third devices. The device may perform an action based on the amount of wear.

Abstract: A seal ring for a seal assembly includes a body and a seal flange. The body is generally cylindrical and extends along a longitudinal axis between a load end and a seal end. The seal flange is disposed at the seal end of the cylindrical body. The seal flange circumscribes the body and projects radially from the body to a distal perimeter of the seal flange. The seal flange includes a sealing face which is annular and disposed adjacent the distal perimeter. The seal ring is made from an alloy that includes between 6 percent and 9 percent by weight of iron, between 1.5 percent and 3 percent by weight of silicon, greater than 14 percent by weight of chromium, and at least 65 percent by weight of nickel.

Abstract: A work machine, such as a tractor or skid steer, has a motion sensor attached to a segment of a continuous ground-engaging track in its undercarriage. The motion sensor generates motion data indicative of a change in motion for the track segment as the track rotates around a track assembly. An electronic controller for the work machine receives and evaluates the motion data, first to identify a location of the track segment within the undercarriage and then to compare the motion data with expected motion data for the track segment under normal track tension. Motion data outside a range of the expected motion data indicates an abnormal sag in the track, causing the electronic controller to generate an alert for adjustment of the track tension.

Abstract: A system may include a device. The device may be configured to receive machine vibration data identifying a measure of vibration of a machine. The vibration, of the machine, may be caused by a combination of first vibration caused by a motion of components of an undercarriage of the machine and second vibration that is unrelated to the first vibration. The device may be configured to identify a segment, of the machine vibration data, corresponding to the first vibration; transform the segment, using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), into a signal in a frequency domain; and analyze the signal to identify a signature spectrum associated with the motion of components. The device may be configured to predict, based on the signature spectrum, an amount of wear of the components. The device may be configured to cause an action to be performed based on the amount of wear of the components.

Abstract: A system may include a first device and a second device. The first device may be configured to be associated with a component of a machine. The second device may be configured to provide one or more interrogation magnetic signals to the first device; and determine, based on providing the one or more interrogation magnetic signals, whether a response magnetic signal is received from the first device. The second device may selectively provide first wear information indicating a first amount of wear of the component or second wear information indicating a second amount of wear of the component. The first information may be provided when the response magnetic signal is received from the first device. The second wear information may be provided when the response magnetic signal is not received from the first device. The second amount of wear may exceed the first amount of wear.
