Bearing Test System

Physical set-up to generate failure data for bearings, facilitating better understanding and validation of predictive algorithms.

Generates run-to-failure data of bearings under configurable operational circumstances.
The modular bearing test rig is open to input from external parties for generating custom datasets.
As PdM matures and sensor technologies evolve, the demand increases for controlled, reproducible failure data and an independent platform to evaluate emerging PdM solutions.

What are the performance, cost, and risk impacts of implementing this product?

Performance: Enables the generation of diverse, high-quality run-to-failure datasets for bearings under configurable operational circumstances. Supports validation and bench-marking of predictive maintenance algorithms.
Cost: Operational costs for personnel, test samples, and facility usage.
Risk: Incomplete coverage if not all failure modes are replicated. Technical failures in the sensor/data chain.

What capabilities would a business/organization/institution need to have to implement this product?

Processes: Experiment planning and execution and data validation procedures for running bearing degradation tests and logging failures.
Resources: Technical staff, operational budget, bearing samples, sensor modules, and data storage IT infrastructure.
Competences: Expertise in test rig operation, experimental design, and data management
Technologies: Physical bearing test rig with advanced sensor platform (piezo sensors, FBGs, ultrasound, RPM, temperature modules) and digital data acquisition systems
