Determination of Bearing Quality Using Frequency Vibration Analysis

Abstract

The paper proposes two methods for determining the quality of industrially manufactured bearings, where the vibro-acoustic energy is expressed by measuring the vibration acceleration. The determined criteria were verified and 100 % agreement was reached in determining the required quality of the bearings. Unwanted bearing noise emissions and its faults can be monitored over the maximum acceleration value determined from the time history, the frequency distribution and the r.m.s. value of the determined frequency range.
