Bearing Prognostics Simulator Innovative Platform for Bearing Prognostics Research email:info@ phone:02884625157 mobile Bearing Prognostics Simulator (BPS) Bearing Prognostics Simulator (BPS) Innovative Platform for Bearing Prognostic Research SpectraQuest introduces an innovative Bearing Prognostics Simulator (BPS) for conducting a fundamental research in bearing wear and in modeling bearing damage evolution process. An outstanding feature of the BPS is the inclusion of SpectraQuest’s proprietary transducers for measuring bearing friction torque and transverse and axial loads applied to the bearing. The BPS can be driven in three software selectable modes (1) a constant rotational speed, (2) purely oscillatory motion, and (3) oscillatory excitation superimposed on rotation. Experiments can be performed on rolling element bearing, pressurized fluid lubricated bearings, and the grease lubricated bearings. The friction torque and the load transducers provide unique data, previously not available, for understanding bearing prognostics signature and modeling bearing failure mechanisms. The BPS provides an opportunity to develop a predictive model of bearing remaining life based on routine condition monitoring measurement. The torque transducer is sensitive enough to measure the small frictional torque bearing resistance under several thousand pounds of transverse/axial load. The BPS can also be obtained with fluid film lubricated support bearings for minimizing extraneous noise. A higher rotational speed and loading versions are also available. A Smart Design for Performing Accelerated Run-to-Failure Tests Bearings are critical for operation of rotating machinery.
