3. Case study

3.1 Fan motor bearing fault

• The values measured during a periodic inspection show that, on the motor bearing on the pulley side, the alarm threshold defined for the global indicator "RMS speed" standardized to 10/1,000 Hz has been exceeded. The value of this global indicator, measured in the horizontal radial direction, has risen from 3.9 to 12.2 mm/s since the last collection, whereas it remains more or less stable on the other fan bearings and on the vertical radial measurements of the bearing in question.
