How to detect bearing damage at the earliest stage

It is vital to catch bearing defects as early as possible, to stop them developing into more serious problems, and one way of achieving this is to use a signal processing technique called acceleration enveloping. It works by progressively filtering out unwanted parts of the vibration spectrum until the signal of a bearing defect can clearly be seen.

Hansford Sensors have published a white paper which is a must read for engineers looking to minimise the risk of machine damage and failure. The white paper, which is titled Acceleration enveloping to detect bearing damage, explores the acceleration enveloping technique in new depth. It explains the important role it has to play in today’s manufacturing and process environments and describes how it works. It also provides an example of the process in application, helping readers to gain a better understanding of the technique in practice.
