Abstract:
A method of monitoring a rolling bearing for a rotating member of a machine provides measuring, over time, the temperature values of the bearing or of a region surrounding the bearing. The method identifies temperature peaks in the temperature trend and highlights an alarm condition if the peaks satisfy an alarm criterion, for example the presence of five peaks in twelve operating hours of the machine.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of monitoring a rolling bearing for a member of a machine, wherein said method comprises:\n measuring, over time, temperature values of the bearing or of a region surrounding the bearing to define a temperature trend over time, to identify temperature peaks in said trend of the temperature over time, and to highlight an alarm condition if said peaks satisfy an alarm criterion; wherein, to identify the temperature peaks, a predefined temperature threshold (DT) is identified and a temperature peak is identified each time that a temperature difference between one measurement and a temporally successive measurement is greater than, or equal to, said interval threshold (DT); according to the alarm criterion, a predefined alarm threshold number (Np) is identified and an alarm condition is signaled if a number of peaks is identified equal to or greater than, said threshold number (Np).
