Design and Testing of a Measurement Device for High-Speed Bearing Evaluation

Abstract

The submitted article focuses on the proposal of a testing device for researching alternative methods of lubricating technical systems, specifically high-speed rolling bearings using lubricants containing nanoparticles. The aim of this research is to verify the functionality of the proposed technical device, whose main task is to ensure the measurement of the functional and operational characteristics of high-speed rolling bearings. The proposed technical device allows us to carry out a series of measurements, primarily for the purpose of selecting specific bearings and secondarily for the purpose of conducting technical diagnostic measurements. The results of these measurements are significant in the selection of suitable nano-particle additives for the lubrication of the tested bearings. The tests was carried out using speeds reaching 110,000 rpm. Methods of monitoring vibrational and acoustic diagnostics were chosen for the analysis of the operational processes of loaded technical systems.
