Bench construction and measurement

The bearing-vibration fault simulation bench uses a modular design with an overhung rotor and a single rotor disc. It supports vibration accelerometers through standard mounting holes and brackets.

Fault simulations and experiments

  • Gear wear, broken teeth, gear cracks and missing teeth.
  • Static and dynamic unbalance, including overhung-rotor unbalance.
  • Misalignment and looseness.
  • Bearing outer-race, inner-race, rolling-element, cage and combined faults.
  • Recognition of vibration characteristic frequencies at different rotational speeds.
  • Single-plane balancing, impact testing and run-up/coast-down tests.
  • Gear eccentricity, resonance and related machine-vibration experiments.

Assembly limitation

The equipment list states an 8 mm–14 mm coupling and separate 15 mm diameter shafts. Their assembly relationship remains unconfirmed; neither dimension has been changed to imply a verified fit. Confirm the supplied mechanical arrangement before planning assembly.
