Abstract
The article developed a methodological basis for implementing automatic diagnostics based on thermal analysis of bearing assemblies. The diagnostic criteria of the technical operation condition and the procedure for determining the temperature ratio inside and outside the bearing unit based on the finite element analysis (FEA) of stable thermal conductivity have proven to be justified. Method of simulation of stable thermal conductivity of bearing units using KOMPAS-3D software and APM FEM finite element analysis module is proposed. The developed method was tested in practice and verified based on the results of theoretical and experimental studies. The developed method enables the determination of the relationship between the observed temperature on the surface of the bearing units and the friction temperature in the wear zone.
