Abstract
In the present paper, a new electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation technique is proposed to detect and size defects on the inner and outer rings of ball bearings. A permanent magnet is used to generate a static magnetic field and the eddy currents induced inside the rotating ball bearing are detected by a coil wrapped around the magnet. A signal processing method that makes use of the autocorrelation is proposed to detect the defects in ball bearings and to evaluate their size. Experimental validations are carried out using common ball bearings. The comparison through the use of the proposed method of healthy bearings with bearings with defects allows detecting, discriminating and sizing the defects, in spite of the presence of a metallic casing.
