Diagnostic Techniques for the Vibration Analysis of Bearings E. Estupiñan Professor University of Tarapacá - eestupin@uta.cl Casilla 6 – D, Arica - CHILE P. Saavedra Professor University of Concepción - psaavedr@udec.cl Vibrations Laboratory – Mechanical Engineering Department Casilla 160 – C, Concepción – CHILE Abstract The vibration signal emitted by a bearing can contain spectral components that are related to the geometry of the bearing, the number of rolling elements, the speed of rotation, the location of the defect and the type of applied load; which marks the difference with a journal bearing type. It is of great importance in the modern industry to detect defects in the bearings of critical machines in an incipient fault stage. In the present work we have used some of the modern techniques of vibration analysis included today in some commercial vibration analyzers. For the experimental study, good shape ball bearings and localized defect in the outer race ball bearings, were tested under different levels of fault severity and various load and speed conditions. Normal spectral analysis, demodulation, PeakVue and real zoom analysis were the techniques used for the analysis. Key Words – Bearings, Faults Diagnostic, Predictive Maintenance, Vibration Analysis, Demodulation, PeakVue, Spectral analysis. Introduction The bearings act as a source of noise and vibration due to varying compliance as much as the presence of defects in them, which may be classified into distributed and localiz
