Clyde Volpe, Owner, Vibration Institute of Australia
Description
This paper will discuss through the use of case histories why we see harmonics of the bearing frequencies and why they are surrounded by sidebands. Real case histories and the use of simulators will aid the explanation of this phenomenon and offer deeper and better understand of why this occurs. This method can be extended to other area of diagnosis like gears, certain motor defects and many other defects which will be elaborated in this talk.
