An Overview of Bearing Vibration Analysis Dr. S. J. Lacey, Engineering Manager Schaeffler UK Limited An Overview of Bearing Vibration Analysis Dr. S. J. Lacey, Engineering Manager Schaeffler UK Summary Vibration produced by rolling bearings can be complex and can result from geometrical imperfections during the manufacturing process, defects on the rolling surfaces or geometrical errors in associated components. Noise and vibration is becoming more critical in all types of equipment since it is often perceived to be synonymous with quality and often used for predictive maintenance. In this article the different sources of bearing vibration are considered along with some of the characteristic defect frequencies that may be present. Some examples of how vibration analysis can be used to detect deterioration in machine condition are also given. 1. Introduction Rolling contact bearings are used in almost every type of Vibration monitoring has now become a well accepted part of rotating machinery whose successful and reliable operation is many planned maintenance regimes and relies on the well very dependent on the type of bearing selected as well as the known characteristic vibration signatures which rolling precision of all associated components i.e. shaft, housing, bearings exhibit as the rolling surfaces degrade. However, in spacers, nuts etc. Bearing engineers generally use fatigue as most situations bearing vibration cannot be measured directly the normal failure mode on the assumption that the bearings and so the bearing vibration signature is modified by the are properly installed, operated and maintained. Today, because machine structure and this situation is further complicated by of improvements in manufacturing technology and materials, vibration from other equipment on the machine
