Abstract: The present invention provides a high accuracy, inexpensive diagnosis method and system diagnosing an abnormality of a 10 rpm or less very low speed roller bearing using an acoustic signal, that is, detects an acoustic signal emitted from a roller bearing of a 10 rpm or less ultralow speed rotating machine using a sensor having a sound pickup performance of 10 kHz or less, uses frequency analysis to find the spectrum distribution, processes this to obtain the frequency analysis waveform, compares the spectral average value or effective value of a frequency of the natural frequency of the bearing or more of this with a reference value, and judges that the bearing is abnormal when this spectral average value or effective value exceeds the reference value.
