REMAINING USEFUL LIFE PREDICTION FOR A COMPONENT OF A MACHINE

Abstract:

A method is disclosed, which may include determining a distance of movement of a component of a machine; determining a load factor on the component over the distance of movement; estimating a remaining useful life of at least one of the component, or a wear component associated with the component, based on the distance of movement and the load factor; and performing one or more actions based on the estimated remaining useful life.
