Intelligent bearing maintenance

摘要

Method for determining a grease condition in a bearing (10), comprising the steps of measuring at least one operational parameter of the bearing (10) and determining the grease condition by inputting the measured at least one operational parameter into a model. The model interrelates the at least one operational parameter and the grease condition for a specific combination of a predetermined type of grease and a predetermined type of bearing (10). The present invention also relates to a bearing (10) provided with a processing unit (13) and at least one sensor (11, 12), in which the processing unit (13) implements the present method.
