Rolling bearing fault detection of electric motor using time domain and frequency domain features extraction and ANFIS

Abstract

Demands for various products, higher qualities, reduction of costs and competitiveness, have resulted in the use of intelligent fault detection systems. Bearing fault diagnosis as a major component of the electric motors has had an essential role in the operation of production units’ reliability. In addition, vibration analysis is one of the most powerful tools in diagnostics. Advances in signal processing technology and electrical equipment have developed a machinery condition monitoring for defect detection. This study has used the extracted features of vibration signals and the adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) network proposing a structure for fault detection and diagnosis of rolling bearings. Time-domain and frequency-domain statistical characteristics have been extracted fault information from vibration signals. Besides, the test data sets are presented to the ANFIS network. Simulation results indicated that the performance of the ANFIS network is acceptable. The results reveal that this method has more accuracy and better classification performance in comparison with other methods proposed in the literature.
