Arduino based diagnostics system dedicated to rolling bearings

Abstract

This article presents: a test stand dedicated to testing rolling bearings; a low cost diagnostic system based on Arduino Mega and experimental results obtained with this system. Employed sensors were calibrated and described. Some attention was paid to measured errors. Next state indicators obtained from experimental results were presented. Provided information is useful for companies and researchers, who are focused on condition monitoring. The diagnostic system works properly and can be used in practice.
