INTELLIGENT LUBRICATION SET-UP FOR BEARING LUBRICATION AND BEARING FAULT DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES
This setup is, firstly, designed to perform bearing tests to study the effect of operational conditions and oil lubrication conditions on the measured friction torque. Secondly, bearings with predefined faults at the inner race, outer race or rolling elements can be installed for diagnostic studies.
The bearing under test is driven by a speed controlled motor. Its outer ring is supported by a hub. A radial force can be applied on the tested bearing via the hub by means of hydrostatic pad and pneumatic muscle with minimal parasitic torque. The frictional force reacts on the outer ring and this reaction force is measured by means of the force cell. This force is a measure for the energy consumption of the bearing. Additionally, the vibrational responses and the bearing temperature are respectively measured by an accelerometer and temperature sensor. The inlet temperature and flow rate of the oil entering the bearing can be controlled. This setup is instrumented such that:
- The (very low) loss torque of the bearing can be measured
- Metallic contact between the inner and outer ring can be detected
Test component:
The test setup allows testing ball and roller bearings with an outer diameter up to 150 mm and an inner diameter of at least 17 mm
Operational conditions of the setup:
- Speed: Stationary (<3000 rpm) and oscillatory motions (<2200 rad/s2);
- Load: Radial load <12 kN, automatically controlled;
- Oil flow rate: Continuously lubricated bearing, up to 2000cc/min using oil recirculation;
- Oil temperature: the oil entering the bearing can be controlled between 15 - 80 C

GEARBOX SET-UP FOR BEARING AND GEAR FAULT DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES
This test setup is an industrially representative drive line consisting of a three shaft gearbox, a motor to drive the gearbox and a brake to apply a load. The setup allows to perform bearing and gear fault diagnostic studies. For this purpose bearing with different types of faults (e.g. inner race, outer race and rolling element) as well as gears with different types of faults (e.g. chipped tooth) can be installed. The rotational speed and loading can be controlled to evaluate the effect of the operational conditions on the system responses.
Test component:
The test setup allows to test ball and roller bearings as well as various types of gears.
Operational conditions of the setup:
- Speed: Stationary and non-stationary (<3000 rpm).
- Load: brake torque <50 Nm (resulting in a ± 200 N radial bearing load).
- Lubrication: Oil bath, not temperature controlled.

SMART MAINTENANCE LIVING LAB, CONSISTING OF 7 IDENTICAL DRIVE-TRAIN SUB-SYSTEMS, FOR ACCELERATED LIFE TIME TESTING OF BEARINGS AND FLEET MONITORING PURPOSES
The Smart Maintenance Living Lab is a demonstrator for smart ‘over-the-cloud’ monitoring for machine optimisation. A main objective is to demonstrate, e.g., earlier, more robust, or more accurate detection/diagnosis of bearing faults by using techniques that exploit bearing life time data.
In order to check for the presence of bearing faults, we measure and record vibrations, load, speed, bearing temperature, and ambient temperature with a purpose-made, computer-controlled setup. There are seven setups for the accelerated lifetime testing of bearings. In this setup, a bearing is aged at an accelerated rate by applying an initial fault to the bearing and running the bearing at high load applied in a radial direction to the bearing. The temperature of the housing is monitored and has a forced cooling to prevent the onset and effects of temperature-related errors.
The acquired measurement data is locally processed and the resulting features are transferred real-time to a cloud environment that can be used to further process, display, or monitor the features.
Operational conditions for each drive-train sub-system:
- Speed: Stationary and non-stationary (at most 2000 rpm), automatically controlled.
- Load: Radial load <10 kN, automatically controlled.
- Lubrication: Oil bath (no temperature control) or grease.
- Forced air cooling.
- Monitoring of motor speed, load, vibration, bearing temperature, ambient temperature.
- Automatic operation and safety stop.
