Bearing Defect Identification Using Vibration Analysis

The document discusses using vibration analysis to identify bearing defects and determine the optimal time to replace bearings. It summarizes the recommendations of ISO 13373-3, which classifies bearing condition into three zones (good, condition to be considered, bad) based on bearing size and acceleration values. The author has found following this standard's recommendations to result in bearings being changed at the optimal time in most cases. Opinions are sought on other methods used and experiences with this issue.

Bearing defect identification using vibration analysis

One of the most challenging issues in vibration analysis is determining the optimal
time to change the bearings. But how this optimal time can be determined?
There are various opinions in this field.
One of the most reliable recommendations is the graph presented in ISO 13373-3.
Based on this graph, according to the size of the bearing as well as acceleration values
(rms and 0-P) , bearing condition is classified into 3 categories as follows:
A : Bearing in good condition (Green)
B : Bearing condition is to be considered (Yellow)
C : Bad bearing condition (Red)

According this standard, bearing should be changed in Zone C (Red Zone).

I have used the recommendations of this standard and after changing bearings and
checking bearing conditions, I have observed that in most cases the bearings have
been changed at optimal time.
What is your opinion about this issue?
Do you use another method?
Do you have similar or different experience?

Hello guys
This iso13373 chart is simply crest factor indicator, right ?
So it is not relevant only to bearing condition.

I use 3 tables from Graney & Starry Rolling Bearing Analysis Technical paper.
Tables cover g peak, velocity & TWF g pk-pk. with consideration for RPM
which I haven't seen mentioned here. Not to mention the trend line.

Never seen this standard before, it's similar to a crest factor?

It is not crest factor but like crest factor, we should compare 0-P and
rms value.
