Abstract
Diagnostics of rolling element bearing is generally performed by suitable signal analysis tools for the vibration data. In the railway field this analysis is a complicated tasks due to variable operating conditions of the system in terms of load, speed and temperature. At present, the widely maintenance policy in railway field is based on train mileage. The natural increase of trains in the time for the same regional area is leading to more economical maintenance approaches as the condition-based one, where the maintenance activities are performed only when is economically profitable. The secondary effect of such efficient maintenance approach is the reduction of unexpected stopping failures. Besides, condition-based maintenance requires a suitable monitoring system able to analyze and track the health of the mechanical components. In the paper, the complex architecture of the monitoring system for the rolling element bearing of a regional locomotive will be shown.
