Patent number: 11579043Abstract: An information terminal is configured to extract a predetermined frequency band from a waveform of a signal of a machine component detected by a vibration sensor, to compare an analyzed frequency component and a damaging frequency resulting from a damage of the machine component, and to diagnose abnormality of the machine component. The information terminal includes a database in which the damaging frequency resulting from the damage of the machine component is preserved as a converted damaging frequency obtained by converting the damaging frequency on a basis of a predetermined rotating speed of the machine component. The damaging frequency is provided by calculating the converted damaging frequency in the database by using an actual rotating speed of the machine component. Accordingly, it is possible to keep specifications of a machine component confidential without preserving the specifications of the machine component.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: NSK LTD.Inventors: Takanori Miyasaka, Yoshihiro Sato, Yasushi Muto, Yingyi Wen, Osamu Yoshimatsu

Patent number: 11333577Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis method of a rolling bearing used in rotating machinery includes: a time acquisition step of acquiring, from an output signal detected by a sensor during the rotation of the rolling bearing, an entry time when a rolling element enters a flaking region of a bearing ring, and an escape time when the rolling element escapes from the flaking region of the bearing ring; and an estimation step of estimating a flaking size based on a flaking passage time, which is a time difference between the entry time and the escape time. When the bearing ring receives repeated load from the rolling element, the progress of the flaking occurring in the bearing ring can be quantitatively evaluated.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: NSK LTD.Inventors: Toshimitsu Maekawa, Kenichi Shibasaki, Takanori Miyasaka, Yoshihiro Sato
