A faulty bearing detection system provides means and methods for detecting a fault associated with a bearing. The fault detection system includes a vehicle with bearings and a computerized system to separate multiple vibrations from, chiefly the shaft, to identify the amount of faults in the bearings. The system converts mechanical information to electrical information, filters periodic signals for removal, filters background noise, and performs an energy ratio calculation for determining a potential fault condition and communicates the status of a bearing fault condition. By separating the bearing faulty impulse signals from the raw vibration signals, the bearing faulty signal-to-noise ratio is improved. Furthermore, by calculating the energy ratio between the bearing faulty signals and the periodic vibration signals, the loading effects added to the traditional bearing features are removed. |
