Analysis of Bearing Vibration: A discussion of the various methods of monitoring bearing performance

Abstract

THE breakdown of any kind of machinery always causes additional expense, not only because repairs are costly, but also because of the loss of operating time and production. Bearings are a particularly critical component and their serviceability is usually essential for the operation of any machine into which they are fitted. Thus it is important that bearing damage should be detected early enough to replace the bearing during a scheduled servicing period, and that unscheduled servicing of the machine should be prevented. This is particularly so where safety is a factor, as in aircraft engines, and certain parts of the process industries.
