  • Method and apparatus for diagnosing residual life of rolling element bearing
    Publication number: 20050246150
    Abstract: An invention that utilizes signals from an accelerometer in resonant frequency bands or high frequency bands to, in a cost-effective manner, measure wear particle penetration of lubricant and lubricant degradation, both of which greatly affect prediction of residual service life; and, using as a basis these measurements of wear particle penetration and lubricant degradation, enables accurate estimation of residual service life for rolling bearings in the early stages.
