Abstract
A method of detecting a bearing fault of a rolling element bearing mounted around a shaft, using a shaft displacement sensor providing a shaft displacement signal to detect shaft displacement, the method including: a) subtracting a modelled shaft displacement reference signal from the shaft displacement signal to obtain a residual vector, b) estimating for at least one bearing fault type a respective bearing fault frequency, and estimating, for each bearing fault type, an amplitude of the residual vector in a frequency range containing a bearing fault frequency of the associated bearing fault type, and d) determining whether a bearing fault is present based on the at least one estimated amplitude.
