A Method of On-line Monitoring for Vibration Table Bearings Based on VMD

Aiming at the problems that the bearing inside the sliding table of the shaker used for the dynamic test of spacecraft cannot be observed and the failure cannot be known at the initial stage, an online prediction method for bearing failure is proposed. In this paper, the acceleration sensor is selected as the monitoring medium of bearing motion state response, and the VMD (variational mode decomposition) is used as the analysis method of bearing acceleration response data to calculate the harmonic components of the bearing except the fundamental wave. Through the calculation results, the failure bearing can be intuitively interpreted.
