Abstract

A method for predicting life span of a rotary machine used in a manufacturing apparatus, includes: measuring rotary machine acceleration evaluation time series data with a sampling interval being less than a half the cycle of an analysis target frequency, a number of samplings being at least four times the analysis target frequency; generating evaluation diagnosis data based on variations in characteristics corresponding to the analysis target frequency by subjecting the evaluation time series data to frequency analysis; and determining the life span of the rotary machine using the evaluation diagnosis data.
