Vibro-acoustic Diagnostics of Rolling Bearings in Vessels

Abstract

Rolling bearings for many years have formed part of many mechanisms of various machines. They are also found in vessels. Rolling bearings’ failure leads to failures of entire subsystems. For this reason, it is recommended to use objective and noninvasive methods to assess the condition of key bearings having a signifi cant impact on the reliability of operation. Tools of this type include vibro-acoustic diagnostics.
