Abstract

A process for estimating the lubricant viscosity in a bearing comprises the steps of: monitoring acoustic emissions from the bearing with an acoustic emission sensor; monitoring the bearing for at least one of speed, load and temperature; demodulating the acoustic emission signal from the acoustic emission sensor; calculating the root mean square values of the demodulated acoustic emission signal and storing the calculated root mean square values; aligning the root mean square values with values of one or more of speed, load and temperature and storing the aligned values; using the aligned root mean square values, and at least one of speed, load and temperature in a model which calculates viscosity and/or viscosity ratio from the aligned values.
