Motor Bearing Cage Failure
Spectrum time waveforms revealed a serious fault with high acceleration values, indicating cage failure frequencies in the motor front bearing. The engine was stopped before further damage occurred, highlighting the importance of predictive maintenance.

When we examined the spectrum time waveforms, it was observed that the presence of the fault was serious with the high acceleration g's value, where the cage failure frequencies of the motor front bearing were dominant. When the engine was stopped, the cage was completely destroyed. Without our intervention, engine shaft damage etc. could have worse consequences. The importance of predictive maintenance and the criticality of measurements are always needed.
