  Measuring Bearing Vibration

Trying to measure bearing vibration? Here are some things you should know. Done properly, time based analysis can be more user friendly and effective than frequency spectrum analysis!




  WHY METRICS? – Saves Money with Clear Understandable Information:
  • On bearing condition
  • On remaining life
  • On forces reducing life
  • On near term failure
  • On financial risk of inaction
  • On total cost of failure
  • Makes the mechanic's job easier!
  • Reduced training cost.!
  • Reduced consulting costs.!
  • Conveys useful information.
  • Easy to Benchmark
  • Improves Decision making.
  Using Metrics in Bearing Condition Monitoring

MDA: Bearing Lifeguard™-A Next Generation Technology
John E. Judd, Dynamic Measurement Consultants, LLC, Hamden, CT. USA

“There is a 40 % chance of showers today.”

Trying to accurately predict the time of a bearing failure is like trying to predict the weather. Like the weather, classic rolling element bearing failures are somewhat random in nature and are best predicted by statistical methods.

When trying to make replacement decisions on a suspect bearing, don’t ask: When will it fail? Better to ask: What is the probability of failure before the next routine shutdown? The technology described in this article will answer that question.




  Bearing Lifeguard™ Takes the mystery out of Bearing Analysis

It's not magic -- it's metrics. Bearing LifeGuard™ provides the information that you really need.
