AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing imaging systems for raceways of rolling element bearings often result in distorted views due to the positioning of cameras along the central axis, failing to accurately capture wear and damage trends.
Method used
An imaging system that angularly displaces an optical imager about the bearing ring's central axis, recording a series of images of arcuate segments to form a panoramic view of the raceway, allowing for precise analysis of wear and damage.
Benefits of technology
Provides undistorted images of bearing raceways, enabling effective detection of defects such as brinelling, galling, and spalling, thereby improving the reliability of bearing inspection.
