Rolling bearings are one of the most important noise and vibration generator into mechanical constructions. Therefore, it is very important to have knowledge of the rolling element bearings influence on the level of noise and vibration in this systems. This paper deals with a basic forms for generation of vibration and noise of rolling element bearing and suggestions of vibration analysis signi...

In rotating machinery one of the critical components that is prone to premature failure is the rolling bearing. Consequently, early warning of an imminent bearing failure is much critical to the safety and reliability of any high speed rotating machines. This study is concerned with the application of Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) in fault detection of rolling element bearings in rot...

Rotating machinery is the most common machinery in industry. The root of the faults in rotating machinery is often faulty rolling element bearings. This paper presents a technique using optimized artificial neural network by the Bees Algorithm for automated diagnosis of localized faults in rolling element bearings.

A two-dimensional (2-D) explicit dynamics finite element (FE) model of a rolling element bearing was solved using a commercial FE software package, LS-DYNA. It was found that the modelled bearing vibration signals contain a significant amount of numerical noise. This paper provides an explanation of the physical mechanism by which the numerical noise is generated. The noise frequencies were ana...

Interest in vibration control in systems employing rolling element bearings, ranging from rotor systems used in energy conversion/transmission to high-precision, multi-degree-offreedom optical positioning systems, has focused attention on the modelling of bearing dynamic stiffness properties. While modelling a rolling element bearing either as an ideal boundary condition for a shaft or as a sim...

This article describes an instrument to measure the error motion of rolling element bearings. This challenge is met by simultaneously satisfying four requirements. First, an axial preload must be applied to seat the rolling elements in the bearing races. Second, one of the races must spin under the influence of an applied torque. Third, rotation of the remaining race must be prevented in a way ...

The design of rolling element bearings has been a challenging task in the field of Mechanical Engineering. Traditional approaches to the design optimization of such bearings have proved to be computationally time intensive and have yielded solutions that are yet to be theoretically proven optimal. While most of the real aspects of the design are never disclosed by bearing manufacturers, the com...

Introduction With increasing technology, the requirements on the performance of rolling element bearings become more demanding. These types of bearings are used in such applications as computer hard disk drives, which require nanometer level error motion tolerances. In order to measure the error motions of rolling element bearings, the Bearing Analyzer was manufactured with a very precise air b...

Sound working of transmitting power is very essential. For immaculate working of the machines, bearings play an important and critical role. Standard monitoring methods of performance evaluation of rolling element bearings with high degree of reliability are yet to be explored. Authors have proposed rolling element bearing test rig for the same [3]. The formulation requires essentially the elec...
