Advanced High Speed Roller Bearing Inspection Techniques

Abstract

A comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art precision measurement techniques applicable to dimensional inspection of rollers for high speed bearings (greater than 2.0 million DN) was undertaken. Particular attention was given to noncontacting techniques which would permit automated 100% inspection of the rollers for use in such bearings. The measurement techniques were evaluated to determine their utility for incorporation into cost-effective roller inspection system. A concept for a fully automated roller inspection system is described. It provides for the preparation, inspection, re-oiling and sorting of the rollers with minimal human supervision. The system is conceived to be self-contained so that it can operate independent of environmental constraints. It can be developed by adapting existing technology to the specific requirements for roller inspection. (Author)
