  • Publication number: 20230142615
    Abstract: A method and to a device for detecting characteristic electrical current pulses flowing through a rolling bearing or sliding bearing as a result of static charging of rotating machine or system parts. The device is provided with a receiving unit with an antenna for receiving electromagnetic radio waves, which electromagnetic radio waves are emitted in the frequency range above 50 MHz as a result of the characteristic electrical current pulses, a signal processing unit for processing the received signal by signal processing in order to extract the current pulse events contained therein, and an analysis unit for analyzing the temporal progression of the current pulse events for state monitoring of the rolling bearing or sliding bearing.
