ABMA 13:1987 (S2010) Historical [ Withdrawn ]

Purpose. Under certain operating conditions, vibration in rotating rolling bearings can be of importance as an operating characteristic of such bearings. For this reason, the measurement of vibration emitted by a rolling bearing under specified test conditions is utilized for study and qualification as one facet of quality assurance.

This standard on rolling bearing noise and vibration serves to define and specify, for purposes of bearing quality assurance, the physical quantities measured and the test conditions utilized in measurement of vibration and noise generated by rolling bearings. Based on the standard, parties to the acceptance inspection of rolling bearings may, by agreement, establish acceptance specifications and grades of rolling bearings with which to control bearing vibration and noise.
