Acceleration signals of rolling element bearings with artificial defects

This dataset includes the acceleration data acquired during an experimental study on rolling element bearings characterized by artificial defects on the outer ring. Signals were acquired for a number of operative conditions. These were characterized by different values of applied load, shaft rotation frequency and defect dimension. The uploaded files include: - a .rar archive containing all the acceleration signals as .txt files; - a readme file in .pdf format which contains information about the test bench, the test conditions and how to interpret the .txt files.
