Bearing Failure Analysis Software

Bearing Failure Analysis Software

Bearing Failure Analysis Software

(OP)
I have recently been given the responsibility of analyizing the cause of bearing failures for all different types of bearings.  I have some experience with this, however, if there is some software or downloads available with photographs that I can obtain for comparative analysis, it would be very helpful.

RE: Bearing Failure Analysis Software

LT22:  Bearingf manufacturers sometimes provide illustaions and possible causes of bearing failures.  Start there

Regards
Dave

RE: Bearing Failure Analysis Software

I have a great report that explains bearing failures.  It is very comprehensive with plenty of illustrations.

It is from EPRI (Electric power research institute)
Perpared by Mechanical Technology, Inc Latham, NY
Report #:  GS-7352
Project #: 1648-10
July 1991

Hope this helps.

To start wiith.

Those handheld bearing analysers are regarded to work very well.  A scan with a heat camera will also tell of problems to come.
