Reply to "Skidding bearing"

jimmy2fMember

I suspect there is no load on the bearing. Unfortunately the bearing in question is 1500 mile from me. I am relying on a third party for information. I have asked for a bearing and none have been provided.

What leads me to believe the bearing is skidding is the design of the machine. 3600 rpm Vertical motor on a vertical turbine pump. Between the pump and motor is a flexible coupling. With this type of coupling there is no way the motor has any load on the upper bearing. I cannot seem to get the design engineers to see this.

I need to know if there is a way to determine if a bearing is skidding with vibration, can Spike Energy or Peak Vue detect skidding?
