Abstract
A method for detecting structure-borne noise events in a roller bearing, wherein a measuring signal M of a pressure or dilatation sensor arranged on a roller bearing is fed to a frequency filter for filtering out undesired signal parts. A first variance value is calculated from digital values of the frequency filter output signal and at least one second variance value is calculated from other digital values of the frequency filter output signal and a weighted arithmetic average of the at least two variance values is calculated with the aid of a recursive calculation of the variance value. If the weighted arithmetic variance average value exceeds a pre-selected variance threshold value, then it is assessed that a structure-borne noise event provoked by mechanical damage to the roller bearing has occurred.
