Abstract: A method of identifying at least one defect of a rotating component, where the defect is selected from a group of predefined defects, includes extracting frequency data related to each of the predefined defects in order to form a first spectrum signature for each of the predefined defects. Also measuring at least one vibration signal produced by the rotating component to obtain at least two second spectrums, filtering each second spectrum based on an exponential smoothing algorithm, selecting peaks in each second spectrum according to a prominence of each of the peaks, setting selected peaks to zero if the selected peaks are not present in a predefined number of consecutive second spectrums, and calculating a probability that each first spectrum signature corresponds to at least one of the second spectrums.

Abstract: A method of determining the center of loading of a rolling element includes providing a rolling element body and at least three load sensors. The sensors are each positioned within a bore of the rolling element body at a separate distance from a reference position. Load measurements are taken with each one of the sensors at various positions about the circumference of the bearing and the center of loading is calculated at each one of the positions to determine the variation in axial loading about the bearing circumference.

Abstract: A process for determining the reliability of a sensorized bearing configured to measure load and speed is provided. The process includes the following steps. Bearing load and rotational speed are determined from data acquired from the sensorized bearing. Next, an array linking the determined load to the determined n.dm value is filled until that all available loads are parsed. Then a L10 life is determined for each load within a distribution based on the array. Finally, an overall L10 life is determined based on the Palmgren-Minor rule. The load distribution and the L10 lives a bearing reliability R for a given date is determined based on a Weibull curve and the overall L10 life.
