Abstract
The increasing demand for product quality, cost reduction, and heightened industrial competition necessitates the deployment of intelligent fault diagnosis systems. Rolling bearings, critical components in electric motors, significantly impact the reliable performance of production units, This study proposes a novel intelligent system for diagnosing rolling bearing faults based on vibration analysis. The system leverages 15 distinct time-domain statistical features extracted from vibration signals, which are then processed by a highly effective Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System. Results show an impressive 99.2% accuracy on the training set and a perfect 100% accuracy on the test set. Crucially, the system achieved 100% identification of healthy bearing states, ensuring no faults are misclassified as healthy. Furthermore, the proposed method distinguishes fault detection into four distinct categories, providing precise and targeted diagnostic information. This high level of accuracy and discriminative power underscores the system's success and its significant potential for reliable fault diagnosis in electric motor rolling bearings, contributing to enhanced predictive maintenance and operational reliability.
