Abstract

Induction motors are widely used as a workhorse in modern industry. Rolling element bearings constitute an important mechanical component in these motors. Fault detection and diagnosis of bearings are of outmost concerns for prevention of machinery malfunction and abrupt failures. Vibration monitoring is considered as most effective technique for finding bearing-related faults. In this paper, frequency domain features are computed from experimentally collected data from three-phase induction motor and used to classify bearing conditions. Feed-forward back-propagation neural network is used to classify different conditions of bearings with high accuracy. Different number of hidden layer neurons and training algorithms are evaluated for their performance. The proposed procedure requires no pre-processing of vibration signal and proves its effectiveness for bearing fault detection.
