Abstract

In this study, the influence of internal clearance on vibration characteristics of tapered roller bearings (TRBs) was investigated for improving the accuracy of bearing condition monitoring which includes identifying lubricity and incipient wear. The experiments of a healthy TRB were conducted successively under three rotational speeds and four clearance conditions. The root mean square, FFT spectrum and envelope analysis were used to analyze the vibration signals. The experimental results show that the internal clearance will cause the increase of the vibration of the TRB and the appearance of the ball pass frequency of the outer race (BPFO). Moreover, the clearance will cause a deviation between the actual value of BPFO and the theoretical value, and the larger the clearance, the larger the actual BPFO. The results provide an important reference for accurate quantitative diagnosis of TRB clearances.
