Technical system for condition monitoring and failure diagnostics of gear driver with roller bearings was tested in situ. The experimental measurement data of rotors shaft vibration displacements were introduced into physical model of gear teeth meshing dynamics. The modelling and simulation of teeth failures in gear driver with roller bearings was performed by finite element method. The experimental and simulation results were used in identification and elimination of sources of gear teeth damages and bearings failures.

The paper presents research on dynamics, modeling and the results of experimental tests of the rotor system rotating in gas lubricated bearing with a floating bush. The dependence of rotor vibration intensity on the waviness of bearing elements was tested and simulated. It was confirmed experimentally that the amplitude of rotor vibration in gas lubricated bearing with double gas film is basically lower than the one with single gas film. The kinetic orbits of the rotor shaft vibration displacements are presented. Dynamic and mathematical models constructed enable to design bearings that distinct optimal according to the minimal vibration intensity.

This paper presents problems of technological equipment vibromonitoring. Mechatronic systems designed for monitoring and control of complex rotary machines can be implemented effectively only when alert or critical levels of the monitored parameters are well known and sources of parameter deviations can be determined. Vibrodiagnostics is a powerful tool, which can be used for diagnosing of machine defects. However, in the case of complex rotary machines, it is very complicated to trace all sources of vibrations (e.g. internal defects). Therefore, attempts of vibration modeling are made aimed at evaluating the influence of various parameters on vibroactivity of a certain machine.
