Abstract [eng] The development of modern rotating machines requires design of effective defect diagnostics methods for evaluation of technical conditions not only for the entire rotating system, but for each damaged element, e.g. journal and antifriction bearings, couplings, gears, etc. Optimization of rotating system goes through theoretical modeling based on FEM, bond graph theory, prototyping and experimental vibration testing rotating kits in labs and machines in situ. Nodal defects must be observed in early stage of their development. This article presents faults diagnostic for the vertically and horizontally oriented rotor rolling bearings. Studies were carried out at the original research setup. The research stand is composed of a rotor with a disc with the excitation mass fixed on it, rotor, driven by asynchronous AC motor controlled by frequency inverter. Rotor mounted in supports using single row deep groove ball bearings SKF 6004 – 2Z, class C3. During the research, the second non defected rolling bearing was replaced with rolling bearing with inner and outer ring race defects. Experiments were performed by changing the rotor axis of rotation from vertical to horizontal. Experiments were carried out with permissible imbalance (according to ISO 1940-1) and with more than 2 times higher than permissible, assessing the level of allowable imbalance magnitude, according to standard G6.3 class for rotary systems with flywheel impeller. Measurements of mechanical vibration acceleration are taken with 4 acceleration transducers, mounted on each of the supports. This article is focused on analyzing the second support γ direction (gravity direction) transducer data: velocity spectrums, waterfall plots and cascades. Analysis of horizontally and vertically oriented rotor dynamics, characteristics of diagnostics and statistical analysis of measurement data was performed. [...].
