摘要：The problem of increasing the reliability of detecting defects, both in new rolling bearings and the ones having already been in operation is current. The article describes the physical foundations of vibration of rolling bearings, caused by the different dimensions of the rolling elements and increased microwaves of the rings. A classification of rolling bearing defects was proposed, as well as calculation formulas for vibration frequencies corresponding to the indicated defects. It is shown that the vibration level at the overturning frequency depends on the gap size and the rotor mass. As an example, possible defects of rolling bearing No.310 were considered and their vibration frequencies were calculated. The frequency range in which defects of the rings and rolling elements appear was installed. An explanation of the reasons for the occurrence of high-frequency vibration was given. The combination of defects in the rolling elements of different dimensions and imbalance in the rotor causes the intensive development of microshells on the rolling bearing rings. Examples of experimental vibroacoustic characteristics were given to illustrate the physical processes of vibration in rolling bearings with various defects.
