Abstract
The identification of damages in rolling element bearings is quite a simple task and is commonly performed by the application of suitable signal processing tool to vibration signals. Envelope Analysis is the most common approach for the diagnosis of rolling element bearings. It is based on the identification of bearing damage frequency components in the Envelope Spectrum of vibration signals. The main critical point of this method is the selection of a suitable frequency band for the demodulation of the vibration signal. The most used approaches are based on the value of the Kurtosis index by means of diagrams as the frequently used Fast Kurtogram or the more recent Protrugram. In the paper, an experimental case of a bearing damage is investigated and an alternative approach for the filter band selection, based on a so-called “PeaksMap” diagram, has been proposed by the authors.
