Abstract
Rolling element bearings are extensively used in machinery to transmit rolling/sliding motion. These machine elements are prone to get damaged due to an increase in friction, which causes the heat generation and gradual wear on rolling contact surfaces of the bearing. Bearing failure leads to an unexpected shutdown of machinery. Therefore, many condition monitoring methods have been developed to predict bearing faults. The ultrasonic flaw detection method is one of the promising techniques to detect bearing faults. This paper describes the application of ultrasonic to detect incipient faults developed in the roller bearing subjected to fatigue load cycles. Results highlighted the suitability of the ultrasonic method to identify the incipient faults that appeared on the rolling contact surfaces.
