Abstract:
The study evaluated bearing damage detection using SVAN 958 and laser. Accelerometers attached to SVAN 958 were
used to measure the radial accelerations from the bearing housing. The laser which is an optical device was then subsequently
used to measure the radial accelerations from the bearing housing. The data obtained from the two measuring techniques was
processed to detect damage of the bearing using statistical tools and it was established that both methodologies were able to detect
damage in the bearing.
