Characteristic Analysis of Multi-point Faults on the Outer Race of Rolling Element Bearing

doi:10.3901/JME.2020.21.110

Abstract

Abstract: Complex vibration characteristics produced by the multi-point faults of rolling bearing, may affect the accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis. Considering the influence of the number of faults, fault interval and load distribution, the multi-point faults of rolling element bearing is simulated and analyzed by using five degrees of freedom dynamic model. The dynamic equation is solved numerically by runge-kutta method, and the characteristics of single point fault and multi-point faults of the outer race are compared. The results show that when the outer race has multi-point faults, the amplitude of each harmonic of fault characteristic frequency will change as the change of fault number and fault interval. When the multi-point faults satisfy the relationship of load equality and a certain interval, the value of fault characteristic frequency is a multiple relationship between the fault frequency and the number of faults. The conclusion is verified by the multi-point faults simulation experiment of rolling element bearing.
