The causes of premature failure of rolling element bearings may be summarised as: From a tribological point of view, the factors that enhance rolling element bearing life in centrifugal pumps are well known: Correct type of oil. Correct viscosity oil. Adequate supply of oil. Cleanliness of oil. Abse

β¦ Synopsis
You can expect to receive long and successful operation from rolling element bearings, advises Stan SNels, but only if due attention is applied to a number of critical areas.
R
olling element (or antifriction) bearings, as applied to centrifugal pumps, have a life expectancy governed by five basic conditions...
β’ The selection of the correct design of bearing for the service. β’ The quality of lubrication, which involves the selection of an acceptable lubricant, maintenance of the correct amount of lubricant, the degree of lubricant contamination and/or degradation. β’ The correct assembly and maintenance procedures. β’ The degree of static loading imposed on the bearing. β’ The degree of dynamic loading imposed on the bearing.

In this paper, the high frequency resonance technique, used for many years in the early detection of failure in rolling element bearings by vibration analysis, is combined with the technique of synchronous averaging, which has long been applied to vibration analysis of gears for the early detection
## A BS TRA CT The two-microphone sound-intensity technique has been used for the detection of defects in radially loaded ball bearings. The difference in the sound-intensity levels measured for bearings with no defect and for those with intentionally introduced defects of different sizes in their
