Observation
An increase in acceleration vibration was observed, with light impacting around outer race fault frequencies (~7.15X turning speed).
Recommendation
The AssetWatch Condition Monitoring Engineer recommended lubricating the bearing to see if it reduced noise and vibration.
Resolution
The bearing was lubricated, which improved vibration levels until it could be replaced. Bearing replacement resolved the issue and avoided unplanned downtime.
