Abstract

Bucket elevators are applied in many industries for bulk material handling. One of the main requirements for these devices is their high operational reliability. This applies in particular to power units that must operate continuously without failure. This article presents a comparative assessment of the drive units of two bucket elevators. The vibration intensity of their bearing units was used as the basis for the comparison. The evaluation was carried out using three independent methods based on the vibration velocity analysis: in the time domain, in the frequency domain and using the probabilistic approach.
