A method for predicting bearing failure, wherein the bearing (60) includes a n inner race (62), an outer race (66), and a plurality of rolling elements (70) between the inner and outer race. The method includes coupling a sensor assembly (100) to the outer race, the sensor assembly including at least one temperature sensor (104) an d at least one acoustic sensor (102), generating a bearing performance model based on a n initial signal received from the sensor assembly, receiving a second signal from the sensor assembly, and comparing the second signal to the bearing performance model to predict a bearing failure. |
