“…However, in reality, the impulse signals caused by faults often cannot be described by a strictly periodic model. The latest discussions on this topic can be found in Javorskyj et al (2024aJavorskyj et al ( , 2024bJavorskyj et al ( , 2017, which use the periodically nonstationary random signal and periodic nonstationary random process to analyze the vibrations of faulty bearings. Early models of bearing vibration signals treated the fault-induced impulses as occurring in strict periodicity (McFadden and Smith, 1984), but the accuracy has been questioned, as discussed in Borghesani et al (2022) and Abboud et al (2019).…”

Purpose This study aims to propose a method for monitoring bearing health in the time–frequency domain, termed the Lock-in spectrum, to track the evolution of bearing faults over time and frequency. Design/methodology/approach The Lock-in spectrum uses vibration signals captured by vibration sensors and uses a lock-in process to analyze specified frequency bands. It calculates the distribution of signal amplitudes around fault characteristic frequencies over short time intervals. Findings Experimental results demonstrate that the Lock-in spectrum effectively captures the degradation process of bearings from fault inception to complete failure. It provides time-varying information on fault frequencies and amplitudes, enabling early detection of fault growth, even in the initial stages when fault signals are weak. Compared to the benchmark short-time Fourier transform method, the Lock-in spectrum exhibits superior expressive ability, allowing for higher-resolution, long-term monitoring of bearing condition. Originality/value The proposed Lock-in spectrum offers a novel approach to bearing health monitoring by capturing the dynamic evolution of fault frequencies over time. It surpasses traditional methods by providing enhanced frequency resolution and early fault detection capabilities.
