A small-size stand for vibroacoustic and durability testing of rolling bearings

A small-size stand for vibroacoustic and durability testing of rolling bearings is presented in this paper. Main purposes and motivations for building this stand were not only to assist research and development works but also to familiarize students with techniques and methods of rolling bearings diagnosing as well as to improve their skills of assessment of rolling bearings technical condition. The project assumptions of the stand, mechanical construction and architecture of data acquisition and analysis system (hardware and software) are described in this paper. Finally there are conclusions about stand’s capabilities included.
