Abstract : Proper machine condition monitoring is really crucial for any industrial and mechanical systems. The efficiency of mechanical systems greatly relies on rotating components like shaft, bearing and rotor. This paper focuses on detecting different fault in the roller bearings by casting the problem as machine learning based pattern classification problem. The different bearing fault conditions considered are, bearing-good condition, bearing with inner race fault, bearing with outer race fault and bearing with inner and outer race fault. Earlier the statistical features of the vibration signals were used for the classification task. In this paper, the cyclostationary behavior of the vibration signals is exploited for the purpose. In the feature space the vibration signals are represented by cyclostationary feature vectors extracted from it. The features thus extracted were trained and tested using pattern classification algorithms like decision tree J48, Sequential Minimum Optimization (SMO) and Regularized Least Square (RLS) based classification and provides a comparison on accuracies of each method in detecting faults.
