Condition monitoring of electric drives is of paramount importance since it contributes to enhance the system reliability and availability. Moreover, the knowledge about the fault mode behavior is extremely important in order to improve system protection and fault-tolerant control. Fault detection and diagnosis in squirrel cage induction machines based on motor current signature analysis (MCSA) has been widely investigated. Several high resolution spectral estimation techniques have been developed and used to detect induction machine abnormal operating conditions. This paper focuses on the application of MCSA for the detection of abnormal mechanical conditions that may lead to induction machines failure. In fact, this paper is devoted to the detection of single-point defects in bearings based on parametric spectral estimation. A multi-dimensional MUSIC (MD MUSIC) algorithm has been developed for bearing faults detection based on bearing faults characteristic frequencies. This method has been used to estimate the fundamental frequency and the fault related frequency. Then, an amplitude estimator of the fault characteristic frequencies has been proposed and fault indicator has been derived for fault severity measurement. The proposed bearing faults detection approach is assessed using simulated stator currents data, issued from a coupled electromagnetic circuits approach for air-gap eccentricity emulating bearing faults. Then, experimental data are used for validation purposes.

Rolling bearings play a crucial role in industrial equipment, and their failure is highly likely to cause a series of serious consequences. Traditional deep learning-based bearing fault diagnosis algorithms rely on large amounts of training data; training and inference processes consume significant computational resources. Thus, developing a lightweight and suitable fault diagnosis algorithm for small samples is particularly crucial.

Unbalance faults are among the common causes of interruptions and unexpected failures in rotary systems. Therefore, monitoring unbalance faults is essential for predictive maintenance. While conventional time-invariant mathematical models can assess the impact of these faults, they often rely on proper assumptions of system factors like bearing stiffness and damping characteristics.

Applying deep learning to unsupervised bearing fault diagnosis in complex industrial environments is challenging. Traditional fault detection methods rely on labeled data, which is costly and labor-intensive to obtain. This paper proposes a novel unsupervised approach, WDCAE-LKA, combining a wide kernel convolutional autoencoder (WDCAE) with a large kernel attention (LKA) mechanism to improve fault detection under unlabeled conditions, and the adaptive threshold module based on a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) dynamically adjusts thresholds, boosting model robustness in imbalanced scenarios.

Data imbalances present a serious problem for intelligent fault diagnosis. They can lead to reduced diagnostic precision, which can jeopardize equipment reliability and safety. Based on that, this paper proposes a novel fault diagnosis method combining the denoising diffusion implicit model (DDIM) with a new convolutional neural network framework.

Rolling bearings are critical rotating components in machinery and equipment; they are essential for the normal operation of such systems. Consequently, there is a pressing need for a highly efficient, applicable, and reliable method for bearing fault diagnosis. Currently, one-dimensional data-driven fault diagnosis methods, which rely on one-dimensional data, represent a mainstream approach in this field.
