Summary

Chapter 12 presents an appraisal on VSA to diagnose faults in rolling element bearings.A discussion is provided on the key outcome that end users hope to achieve from vibration monitoring, which is the prognosis of remaining operational life of a SCIM after a fault is diagnosed. It is also reiterated, via more photographic evidence, that access to mount temporary accelerometers directly on the bearing housings of rolling element bearings used in induction motors can be very difficult. Guidelines are given for grease management of rolling element bearings because of the predominance of failures being caused by incorrect greasing practices.
