Diagnostics of rolling element bearings is usually performed by means of a second-order cyclostationary tool applied to the vibration signal, due to the stochastic nature of the contact between the defect and the bearing rolling elements. The most used and simple method is the Envelope Analysis that is based on the identification of bearing damage frequency components in the so-called Square Envelope Spectrum. The main critical point of this technique is the selection of a suitable frequency band for the demodulation of the vibration signal. The most used approach for the frequency band selection is based on the evaluation of the band-Kurtosis index by mean of diagrams as the frequently used Fast Kurtogram or the more recent Protrugram. Both of them may fail in the selection of the optimal frequency band when other vibration sources affect the Kurtosis index. Also critical is the constancy in the time of this optimal band. In the paper, an experimental case of a bearing damage is investigated and an alternative approach for the filter band selection, the so-called “PeaksMap”, will be proposed by the authors and compared with the ones available in the literature.

Abstract The level selection of frequency band division structure relies on previous information in most gram approaches that capture the optimal demodulation frequency band (ODFB). When an improper level is specified in these approaches, the fault characteristic information contained in the produced ODFB may be insufficient. This research proposes a unique approach termed median line-gram (MELgram) to tackle the level selection problem. To divide the frequency domain signal into a series of demodulation frequency bands, a spectrum median line segmentation model based on Akima interpolation is first created. The level and boundary of the segmentation model can be adaptively identified by this means. Second, the acquired frequency bands are quantized using the negative entropy index, and the ODFB is defined as the frequency band with the largest value. Third, the envelope spectrum is used to determine the ODFB characteristic frequency to pinpoint the bearing fault location. Finally, both simulation and experimental signal analysis are used to demonstrate the efficiency of the suggested method. Furthermore, the suggested method extracts more defect feature information from the ODFB than existing methods.
