Abstract:In this paper, an incipient fault diagnosis method for roller bearings is proposed, based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and correlation coefficient (the normalized value of the cross-correlation function at the zero-lag point). The high frequency resonance phenomena begin to emerge as a defect forms gradually in the bearings. Therefore the high frequency content is sensitive to the change of the bearing conditions. Based on this, the EMD method is firstly applied to the bearing vibration signals to obtain some intrinsic mode functions (IMF) which contain different frequency bands from high to low. The first IMF of the signal to be detected, representing the high frequency band, is then selected to calculate the correlation coefficient between its frequency-domain signal and that of normal state. The correlation coefficient can demonstrate the fault evolution process and thus can detect an early fault. Finally the early faulty signals are analyzed by using the envelope analysis and the location of the fault is identified. The experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
