Data on the first endurance activity of a Brushless DC motor for aerospace applications

Abstract

This article describes the data acquired during the first test activity carried out in the Reliable Electromechanical actuator for PRImary SurfacE with health monitoring (REPRISE) H2020 project. The data consist of a set of measures from an Electro-Mechanical Actuator (EMA) employed in small aircrafts, such as phase currents, positions, temperature and loads. A test bench was developed to perform endurance sessions in various loads and working conditions. Specifically, two datasets are provided: (i) measurements used to monitor the EMA degradation through time; (ii) measurements that characterize the EMA closed-loop dynamic behaviour in healthy condition. The data are helpful to develop and test system identification methods and condition monitoring approaches.
