When rolling bearings fail, it may cause accidents and even cause huge economic losses. Therefore, monitoring the running state and diagnosing the fault of rolling bearings is an important task in modern industry. Common rolling bearing faults include inner ring faults, rolling element faults and outer ring faults.
