A Great Machine for Teaching Bearing Faults & Balancing
Features
Portable, robust, cost-effective balance and bearing vibration trainer.
Ideal for teaching multi-plane balancing with centerhung / overhung rotors
Can be setup to exhibit bearing fault frequencies both further away from, and closer to multiples of the shaft rotational speed (RPM)
Develop signal processing techniques to identify bearing fault frequencies in the presence of defects, at multiples of shaft RPM, without using high-resolution spectra
Use the BBS to recognize the vibration spectra of different bearing faults
10 different application specific study kits available
The Bearing/Balancing Simulator (BBS) is specifically designed to demonstrate and support the study of bearing faults and unbalance under controlled conditions. The BBS is a variable speed machine (available in either AC or DC) that can be used to generate each type of fault individually or in combinations, providing a stable platform for study. Since bearing related problems are very common, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the associated fault signatures that occur under a variety of operating conditions. The same can be said for unbalance, where a properly balanced machine will save a factory on machine down time, replacement parts, inventory, and energy consumption. The BBS is available with either an AC drive or DC drive. The ten option kits include: eccentric rotor, cocked rotor, bent shaft, 5/8 and 1 diameter bearing fault kits, 5/8 and 1 diameter bearing loaders, 5/8 diameter sleeve bearings, and tachometer with analog output.
