MACHINE AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THE STATE OF A SAFETY BEARING OF A MACHINE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for monitoring the state of a safety bearing (14) of a machine (12), wherein the safety bearing (14) catches a rotor shaft (1) of the machine (12) in case of failure of a magnetic bearing (6) of the machine (12), wherein the safety bearing (14) has an outer ring (3) and an inner ring (2) that is arranged rotatably in relation to the outer ring (3), wherein the magnetic bearing (6) is switched off, wherein the rotor shaft (1) is rotationally moved with a defined course of move-ment, wherein a physical variable (G) of the safety bearing (14) is measured by means of a sensor (5). The invention further relates to a corresponding machine. The invention allows for monitoring the state of a safety bearing (14) installed in a machine (12).
