Hi all,
For my theseis I have to modify an existing gearbox in order to be able to measure the film thickness in between the gear teeth during loaded rotation of the gears. In order to do so I have to make an electrical connection to a certain shaft withtin the gearbox. This shaft does not exit the gearbox and is fully submerged in lubricant. First I thought about a copper ring around the shaft + use of carbon brushes. But carbon brushes are not supposed to be used in lubricated conditions from what I read. In attachement I put a paper discussing the measureming method that needs to be used for context. Does anybody know a certain component or method that I can use to make this electrical connection?
Kind regards
Stan
