Bearing resource analyzer ARP 11

Ultrasonic acoustic emission device, bearings technical condition data collector.

Анализатор ресурса подшипников АРП 11
Ультразвуковой акустико-эмиссионный прибор сборщик данных технического состояния подшипников

FUNCTION:

Rolling bearings technical condition control based on operating bearing acoustic emission signal analysis in ultrasonic frequencies 20 to 300 KHz, bearing unit resource definition, database compilation for equipment of different types, complexity, configuration with non-stop operating bearings frequency range 10 to 10,000 revolutions per minute.

The more complicated, compact and powerful the diagnosed equipment is, the more complicated it is to determine the actual reason, that can lead to breakdown, accident or catastrophe, and the more experienced critical equipment diagnostician is needed.

We do not measure vibrations of machinery and mechanisms that depend on disequilibrium (elements and units disbalance), centering and operation speed. There is no need for an experienced diagnostician, because the device implements a computer-aided technology of acoustic emission signals processing. Bearing technical condition calculation is made in 5 seconds.

  • Our diagnostics technology:
  • Reliability 95-98 %
  • Operating equipment noise protection
  • Flaw detection at an early stage of development
  • Detection of lack of lubricant and lubricant watering

The theory is proved by the research of scientists of the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation.

Having examined the acoustic emission parameters let’s analyze acoustic emission signal sources in the ultrasonic range generated by an operating bearing.

The main acoustic emission signal shaping sources in an ultrasonic frequency range are:

  • Elastic waves from normal and tangential stress contact patches in object near-surface layers and races at rotation from acting loads;
  • Microblows due to objects and races surface roughness, which intensify because of lubricant destruction;
  • Hydrodynamic effects from lubricant in the contact stress area of rolling elements and races;
  • Pulse signals from crack formation in rolling elements metal;
  • Microblows and blows from rolling of defective surfaces (flaking, chips, etc.);
  • Microdisplacements of the outer race in the bearing housing;
  • Bearing seat wear, accompanied by sliding shifting of mounting sleeves relative to seats;
  • Microslippage of rotary bodies onto races.
