Abstract

A vibration analysis apparatus diagnoses a machine state based on vibration detected by a measurement instrument. A setting unit sets a diagnosis target, a rotation speed, and a determination criterion value. A communication unit communicates with the measurement instrument to transmit a trigger to start measurement of vibration to the measurement instrument or to receive data on a vibration waveform from the measurement instrument. A condition determination unit determines a diagnosis condition based on information on the diagnosis target. An analyzer subjects data inputted from the measurement instrument to frequency analysis. An abnormality determination unit makes determination as to an abnormality of the diagnosis target based on the determination criterion value. Thus, the vibration analysis apparatus and a vibration analysis system capable of vibration analysis with certain accuracy being maintained regardless a skill level of a user can be provided.

Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to make it possible to avoid contraction of an inner diameter surface of an inner race of a rolling bearing even if a magnetic ring of a magnetic rotation sensor is coupled to an outer circumferential portion of the inner race, and to improve the reusability of the magnetic ring when replacing the inner race, while enabling the outer circumferential portion of the inner race to be coupled to the magnetic ring even if the width of the inner race is small. In order to achieve this objective, a hook member (20) formed in an annular shape using a resin is provided. An outer circumferential groove (12a) extending in a circumferential direction is formed in an outer circumferential portion (12) of an inner race (3).

The arm setting unit (50) sets two of the arms as drive arms for driving and the remaining arm as a free arm, on the basis of the calculated rotation angles for the arms (11a to 13a). The arm control unit (39) drives and positions the free arm after only the two drive arms that have been set are driven and positioned.

Abstract

This deep groove ball bearing (1) comprises: an inner race (2), which is an inner member; an outer race (3), which is an outer member; a plurality of balls (4) interposed between these inner and outer races (2, 3); and a waveform retainer 5 that retains these balls (4). A band width (h), which is the radial-direction dimension of the waveform retainer (5), is set to 30-44% of a diameter (BD) of the balls (4). Limiting the upper limit value of the band width (h) to 44% or lower of the ball diameter has the effect of allowing grease to flow easily and the effect of decreasing the stirring force of the grease, thereby inhibiting a temperature increase of the deep groove ball bearing (1) during a rapid acceleration rotation. Since the lower limit value of the band width (h) is set to at least 30% of the ball diameter, the movement of the balls (4) stabilizes, and it is possible to satisfy the required retainer strength.

Abstract

A diagnosis-parameter calculation unit calculates a diagnosis parameter in a second time period, based on sensing data obtained in the second time period. A characteristic-data input unit obtains characteristic data representing characteristics of a monitoring target device in a first time period and the second time period, from a logger included in the monitoring target device. Using the characteristic data in the second time period and the diagnosis parameter in the second time period, a regression-model generation unit) generates a regression model representing a relationship between the characteristic data and the diagnosis parameter. Using the regression model, a diagnosis-parameter estimation unit estimates a diagnosis parameter in the first time period, which corresponds to the characteristic data in the first time period. Using the diagnosis parameters in the first time period and the second time period, the diagnosis-criteria setting unit sets diagnosis criteria.

Abstract

Provided is a ball bearing in which a strong contact between an inner radial surface of a pocket and a ball can be avoided to reduce rotational torque even when a retaining claw of a crown type cage is deformed by centrifugal force. The ball bearing comprises: an annular portion 30 that has pockets 31 for retaining a plurality of balls 23 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and is located on one side in an axial direction of the ball 23; and a plurality of pairs of retaining claws 32 extending from the annular portion 30 toward the other side in the axial direction. The pocket 31 is formed by opposite surfaces of the retainer claws 32 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, and one end surface of the annular portion 30 in the axial direction. The pocket 31 is in the shape of a spherical concave surface that holds the ball 23. A recess 33 is formed in an inner radial portion of a bottom surface of the pocket 31.

Abstract

Provided is a crown-shaped cage entirely made of a resin material, in which a diameter D of a steel ball (4) stored in a pocket (9) is 13 to 18 mm, a thickness t from the bottom of the pocket (9) to an end surface of an annular part (5) on another side thereof in an axial direction is 10 to 20% of the steel ball diameter D, and an axial length HB of claws (8a, 8b) of a horn part (6) is 60 to 80% of the steel ball diameter D. When the tensile strength of the resin material is σ, a cross-sectional area A of a portion between adjacent pockets (9) in a circumferential direction is set within a range given by the following expression. A > (511D – 4027) / σ
