Vibration Based Fault Detection of Deep Groove Ball Bearing Using Data Mining Algorithm

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017

Deep groove ball bearing is a heart of rotating machinery. So early fault detection of bearing can prevent failures of the machineries. Vibration signals collected from bearing carries useful information about its health. This paper presents a methodology to identify various faults in deep groove ball bearing from vibration signals acquired from different bearing condition. Features such as RMS, Variance, Mean, Crest Factor,Kurtosis and Skewness are calculated from time domain for various bearing conditions such as normal bearing, fault at inner race, fault at outer race, and fault on ball. The dataset of the various bearing condition is applied on five classifiers such as Naive Bayes (NB), Multi-Level Perceptron (MLP), K-Star, J-Rip, and J-48 using data mining algorithm WEKA. The distribution of training and testing dataset is carried out using WEKA. In a result, statistical parameters generated from classification algorithms are compared to determine the correctly classified instances and to find the efficient classification algorithm among five algorithms. Result shows that K-Star gives highest accuracy for training as well as for testing among all classification algorithms.

Performance of Bearing Ball Defect Classification Based on the Fusion of Selected Statistical Features

Entropy

Among the existing bearing faults, ball ones are known to be the most difficult to detect and classify. In this work, we propose a diagnosis methodology for these incipient faults’ classification using time series of vibration signals and their decomposition. Firstly, the vibration signals were decomposed using empirical mode decomposition (EMD). Time series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) were then obtained. Through analysing the energy content and the components’ sensitivity to the operating point variation, only the most relevant IMFs were retained. Secondly, a statistical analysis based on statistical moments and the Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) was computed allowing the extraction of the most relevant and sensitive features for the fault information. Thirdly, these features were used as inputs for the statistical clustering techniques to perform the classification. In the framework of this paper, the efficiency of several family of techniques were investigated and compa...

Analysis and comparison of multiple features for fault detection and prognostic in ball bearings

2018

Feature extraction is one of the most important elements in Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) systems. Numerous techniques have been proposed for fault detection, diagnostics and prognostics in ball bearings which are key components of rotating machineries, widely used in the industry. Considering the strengths and weaknesses of these techniques, this paper aims at evaluating and analyzing different features in all three signal processing domains: time, frequency and time-frequency. The crucial indicators related to normal and abnormal cases are extracted from both vibration signals and stator current signals. Then, a new metric is proposed to measure the evolution of these indicators with respect to degradation levels of bearings. The performance of every indicator is analyzed to study which feature(s) is(are) better than other(s) and which feature(s) is(are) the best appropriate for vibration and current signals. These results could be effectively used in future for fault de...

A New Statistical Features Based Approach for Bearing Fault Diagnosis Using Vibration Signals

Sensors, 2022

In condition based maintenance, different signal processing techniques are used to sense the faults through the vibration and acoustic emission signals, received from the machinery. These signal processing approaches mostly utilise time, frequency, and time-frequency domain analysis. The features obtained are later integrated with the different machine learning techniques to classify the faults into different categories. In this work, different statistical features of vibration signals in time and frequency domains are studied for the detection and localisation of faults in the roller bearings. These are later classified into healthy, outer race fault, inner race fault, and ball fault classes. The statistical features including skewness, kurtosis, average and root mean square values of time domain vibration signals are considered. These features are extracted from the second derivative of the time domain vibration signals and power spectral density of vibration signals. The vibratio...

Ball Bearing Fault Detection Using Vibration Parameters

International journal of engineering research and technology, 2013

Bearing is an indispensible element of almost any rotating machinery. These bearings in due course of time undergo damage which may be confined to inner race, outer race, ball, cage, or all of these. Using various state of the art technologies like Vibration Analysis, Shock Pulse Method, and Acoustic Emission, these bearing faults can be identified, without dismantling the machine. Among all these vibrational analysis of bearing signature is a classical technique. This paper presents an experimental study of bearing vibration and application of FFT spectra as a smart tool for diagnosis and identification of bearing faults like inner race defect, outer race defect and ball defect. Keywords— Vibrational Signal, FFT spectra, Ball bearing, Ball defect, Inner race defect, Outer race defect.

Bearing failure is one of the most common faults in industrial machines. Proper condition monitoring is therefore of the highest importance. The rolling bearing is a machinery component that plays a very important role, since it dominates the machine performance. Small defect in the bearing results in dangerous failure of machinery. If defect is detected on one of the bearings, not only the machine, but also the assembly line stops and the deriving costs may be extremely high. Therefore it is very important to detect defects of the bearing before they cause upcoming damage and decrease expensive downtime. The vibration analysis is the most frequently used technique for monitoring of the bearings. This technique can give early information about progressing malfunctions and can be used for future monitoring purpose. This paper describes the suitability of vibration analysis technique to detect the distributed defects in bearing. In this paper comparison of vibration spectrum of healthy and defective bearings is carried out to find defect on bearing. Results show that comparison of vibration spectrum of healthy bearing and vibration spectrum of defective bearing is helpful to recognize the defects in the bearing.

Diagnostics of Bearing Defects Using Vibration Signal

International Journal of Computer and Electrical Engineering, 2012

Current trend toward industrial automation requires the replacement of supervision and monitoring roles traditionally performed by humans with artificial intelligent systems. This paper studies the use of hybrid intelligent system in Diagnosis of rotating machinery bearing defects. Vibration signals were collected for normal and various faulty conditions of the ball/roller bearing of the machinery. The acquired signal was processed with FFT and PSD in MATLAB to obtain the characteristic amplitudes from the frequency domain spectra of the signals. The obtained amplitude vector was used to train an adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to classify and recognize normal and different faulty states. The system was tested, checked and validated with different sets of signal data. The validation data attests to the structural stability and performance of the system.

Experimental Investigation of Fault Detection in Ball Bearings using Vibration Signature Analysis

2019

Ball bearings are machine elements used in rotary machines to reduce friction and support radial and axial loads. During operation there are chances that these elements develop localized faults most probably on the races. To avoid catastrophic failure it is required to monitor the condition of the bearings and detect faults in it. Vibration Signature Analysis is widely used for condition monitoring of mechanical elements such as bearings, gears etc. Envelope detection is a signal processing technique for demodulation of vibration signals, it is a useful tool for the identification of faults. Time domain signals and order spectrum of healthy and faulty bearings were investigated. Statistical parameters such as Kurtosis and Root Mean Square of the time domain signals are also used to identify the presence of faults.
