1" Diameter Shaft Bearing Fault Signature Study Kit

1" Diameter Shaft Bearing Fault Signature Study Kit

• This system is designed to exhibit bearing fault frequencies further away from multiples of the shaft rotational speed (RPM). The standard MFS bearings (typical of many bearings) exhibit fault frequencies close to multiples of shaft RPM requiring ultra high-resolution spectra to clearly identify bearing fault frequencies. This kit is essential for a more complete study of rolling element bearing faults because real world applications include both types of bearings, one with fault frequencies close to multiples of RPM and one with fault frequencies away from the multiples of rotational speed.
• Identify bearing fault frequencies in the presence of defects at multiples of shaft RPM without using high resolution spectra.
• Understand signal processing issues such as averaging, spectral resolution and leakage phenomena.
• Perform experiments while increasing the severity of defects.
