1.2  Overview on Rolling Bearing Condition Monitoring

Ideally, rolling bearing elements are separated by a protective lubricant film, which 

impedes  their  collision.    However,  manufacturing  defects,  damages,  which  appear 

during operation, dirt in the bearing, insufficient or incorrect lubrication – all these 

factors cause the collision of the bearing elements and, as a result, acoustic 

oscillations of a wide spectrum are generated in the bearing body.

A specially designed transducer (patent №18652) is used to filter out the part of this 

spectrum that carries information on the bearing faults detection. The transducer filters 

those acoustic oscillations which are generated by the bearing defects, and converts 

them into electronic signal proportional to the magnitude of shock pulse signal, that is 

amplified and measured by the BT-77 electronic unit in the relative units of decibels 

(dB).

A real new bearing is just from the beginning of its use, a source of induced vibration, 

the amplitude of the shock pulse of which is dB

possible to limit them to diameter D (mm) of the neck and its rotating speed � (rpm). The
