What are the non-destructive testing methods for FAG deep groove ball bearings

The non-destructive testing methods for FAG deep groove ball bearings mainly include the following:

1. Vibration diagnosis technology: By capturing the periodic pulse signals that occur during the operation of the bearing through sensors installed on the bearing seat, the fault of the bearing can be determined. This method is suitable for fault detection of mechanical bearings that are currently in operation.

2. Ferrogram Diagnostic Technology: By analyzing the pattern of wear particles in lubricating oil, using a strong magnetic field to precipitate particles on the ferrogram plate, and then observing and testing through a ferrogram microscope, the working condition and degree of damage of the bearing can be determined.

3. Oil film resistance diagnosis technology: Measure the resistance of the inner and outer rings of the bearing to determine abnormal bearings. This method is suitable for bearings operating outside.

4. Fiber optic monitoring and diagnostic technology: Directly extract diagnostic information from the surface of the bearing sleeve, receive reflected light through fiber optic bundles, and convert it into electrical signals for diagnosis.

5. Temperature diagnosis technology: By monitoring the temperature changes of bearings to determine their condition, it has a good diagnostic effect on burned bearings.

6. * * Acoustic emission diagnostic technology * *: The occurrence and development of lattice dislocations, grain boundary slip or cracks inside metal materials will release elastic waves, and the bearing condition can be evaluated by capturing these acoustic emission signals.

7. Magnetic Particle Testing: This is a common non-destructive testing method suitable for detecting cracks and other surface defects on bearing surfaces.

8. Ultrasonic Testing: Utilizing the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in materials to detect defects inside bearings, such as cracks, pores, etc.

9. * * Radiographic testing * *: By penetrating bearings with X-rays or gamma rays, images are recorded using film or digital detectors to detect internal defects.

10. Eddy current testing: By generating eddy currents on the surface of the bearing, the conductivity changes of the material are detected, thereby discovering surface or near surface defects.

These methods each have their own characteristics and scope of application. Choosing the appropriate non-destructive testing method can effectively evaluate the condition of FAG deep groove ball bearings, prevent failures, and extend their service life. In practical applications, it may be necessary to select appropriate testing techniques based on the specific conditions and requirements of the bearings.
