Abstract
  • Rolling bearing failures are a leading cause of failure in rotating machines, reducing production availability and resulting in costly system downtime. As a result, there is an increasing demand for vibration-based monitoring of bearings, and any method that increases the effectiveness of diagnosing bearing faults should be evaluated. In this paper, we will propose procedures for detecting bearing faults caused by misalignment and data collection for signal processing analysis of all possible operating states of a bearing. The experimental procedures are based on vibration and torque measurements. The test bench's rolling-element bearing is an NTN UCP213-208 pillow block bearing. The experimental work will be conducted using a data acquisition system with a test bench developed by the Department of Machine and Machinery at the Hungarian University of Agricultural and Life Sciences. This work contributes to the development of a predictive method for avoiding rolling element bearing failure.
