STUDY OF EFFECT OF SOLID CONTAMINANTS INGREASE ON PERFORMANCE OF BALL BEARING BY VIBRATIONAN ANALYSIS

Rolling element bearings are common in any rotating machinery. They are subjected to failure under continuous running therefore they have received a great deal of attention in the field of condition monitoring. Machinery vibration monitoring programs are effective in reducing overall operating cost of industrial plant. Monitoring vibration levels over time allows the plant engineer to predict the problems before serious damage and avoid the shutdown of plant. When pending problems are discovered early the plant engineer has the opportunity to schedule maintenance and reduce down time in a cost effective manner. Vibration analysis is used as a tool to determine machine condition and find specific location of machinery problems
