BPS-310
BPS-310 is an innovative bearing prognostic simulator for performing fundamental research on bearing wear and damage development process. It is an educational device that can perform force, velocity vs. vibration, temperature and oil analysis while arbitrarily adjusting the load applied to the bearing and testing it at an arbitrary speed for a long time.
Detailed Description
The bearings play an important role in the operation of the rotating machine. Unexpected bearing defects can lead to downtime, lost production and even more serious damage to the machine. Most condition monitoring programs routinely measure bearing vibrations and perform trend analysis to assess signal integrity and severity of damage to assess machine health. This assessment is based entirely on historical data or statistical analysis, and may result in lost production due to premature replacement of good bearings. The reason why it was not easy to analyze with the prognosis model of bearing integrity was the lack of accelerated life testing devices and sensors for measuring variables. The BPS-310 will satisfy this shortcoming.
