This paper is about the development of surface inspection of bearing inner and outer race using machine vision. Before this system is developed, most inspections are performed by workers' naked eye. To improve both the inconvenience and incorrectness, another new tester is introduced. This system has the three sections mainly. First one is the mechanism section which transfers bearing manufactured from previous process line to the testing process in plant. Another is the inspection system which is composed of two parts: computer vision and measurement system using laser diode which inspects the defects of the bearing inner or outer race. The other is the pneumatic cylinder part controlled by Programmable Logic Controller(PLC). The system which is developed shows favorable results, and that has the advantage of convenience and correctness compared to previous system.

Kullback Discrimination Information (KDI) is one of the pattern recognition methods. KDI defined as a measure of the mutual dissimilarity computed between two time series was studied for detection and classification of bearing flaking on outer-race and inner-races. To model the damages, the bearings in normal condition, outer-race flaking condition and inner-races flaking condition were provided. The vibration sensor was attached by the bearing housing. This produced the total 25 pieces of data each condition, and we chose the standard data and measure of distance between standard and tested data. It is difficult to detect the flaking because similar pulses come out when balls pass the defection point. The detection and classification method for inner and outer races are defected by KDI and nearest neighbor classification rule is proposed and its high performance is also shown.

We propose a finite element modeling method considering the ball bearing contact mechanism, and the developed method was verified through experimental and analytical results of inner and outer race-type rotor systems. A comparison of the proposed method with conventional method reveals that there is little difference in the results of the inner race-type rotor system, but there are considerable differences in the results of the outer race-type rotor system such that predictions of greater accuracy can be made. Therefore, the proposed method can be used for accurately predicting the dynamic characteristics of an outer race-type rotary machine.

This paper describes a new, effective method developed at the National Research Council Canada for rolling element bearing incipient failure detection. This method can detect not only outer race damage, previously published, but also inner race damage with a 100% detection rate based on a sample size of 32. The prediction of the exact angular location of the damage spot along the raceway is illustrated and experimental confirmation is presented. For the first time, a statically measurable parameter for inner and outer race damage is introduced as a means of verifying other techniques which do not offer absolute proof, but resort only to "overwhelming evidence". A brief comparison with other methods such as Shock Pulse Method, Kurtosis Analysis and High Frequency Resonance Technique is presented. A computerized automatic monitoring system utilizing the new method is described and experimental results are presented.presented.

The heat generation of the angular contact and the deep groove ball bearing is studied experimentally and numerically. The temperature variation of the inner and outer races and the temperature increase distribution are measured for the shaft rotational speeds, preloads, viscosities of the lubricant and lubrication methods. The measured temperature distributions are used as the input data of the numerical simulation to estimate the heat generation rate at the bearing. The temperatures of the inner and outer race increase more rapidly and approach faster to their steady values as the rotational speed increases. The optimal viscosity of the oil to minimize the heat generation is 8~10 cSt at 4$0^{\circ}C$ when the oil-air lubrication method is adopted. The heat generation of the bearing increases with the rotational speed and depends more on the lubrication method than on the preload variation.

This paper presents theoretical analysis of the NRRO(non-repeatable run-out) for a ball bearing with geometric imperfection. The 3DOF dynamic analysis of a ball bearing using the Newton-Raphson method is performed to calculate the displacement of shaft center. Frequency and magnitude characteristics of radial and axial vibrations are investigated. The ball form errors of the ball, the inner race, and the outer race in a HDD spindle ball bearing are precisely measured. NRRO of a ball bearing is analyzed by using the measured waviness data. It is concluded that dominant components of radial vibrations are ${\Large}f_c\;and\;2{\Larg}f_b{\pm}{\Large}f_c$, and dominant component of axial vibrations is $2{\Large}f_b$. These are generated by the size error and the second waviness of the balls.

Defect frequencies of rolling element bearings are experimentally investigated utilizing the two-sided directional spectra of the complex-valued vibration signals measured from the outer ring of defective bearings. The directional spectra make it possible to discern backward and forward defect frequencies. The experimental results show that the directional zoom spectrum is superior to the conventional spectrum in identification of bearing defect frequencies, in particular the inner race defect frequencies.
