Abstract

A bearing failure judging apparatus correctly judges the type of the cause of a failure of a bearing by synthetically judging many factors found in a vibrating waveform of a vibration produced when a failure takes place in the bearing i.e. various features of the time-waveform; a localization of the amplitudes of the time-waveform, the periods of pulsating waves, a degree of the acuteness of the waveform depicted by its envelope, the presence or absence of the proper peak value in the frequency spectra, and a change of the waveform after a given time.
