MFS Motor Fault Dataset (trials 1 and 2)

Raw vibration and motor-current recordings of an induction motor running under 8 health conditions, 2 drive frequencies and 2 load settings. The same 32 operating points were recorded in two separate sessions (trial=1, trial=2).

Layout

trial=1/condition={condition}-frequency={frequency}-load={load}.npy   (32 files)
trial=2/condition={condition}-frequency={frequency}-load={load}.npy   (32 files)
Field Values
condition normal, faulted_bearings, phase_loss, rotor_bowed, rotor_broken, rotor_misalignment, rotor_unbalance, voltage_unbalance
frequency 33.3, 50.0 (motor drive frequency, Hz)
load 0, 3 (load setting)

Each file is a NumPy array of shape (3, 1440000), dtype float64:

Channel Signal
0 accelerometer, y-axis
1 accelerometer, x-axis
2 motor current

The channel assignment is taken from the mfs-datamodule loader documentation. Physical units are not recorded in the files.

Sampling rate: 12.8 kHz (1,440,000 samples = 112.5 s per recording). The rate is not stored in the files. It is inferred from the data: at 12.8 kHz the fundamental of the current channel falls at exactly 33.31 Hz and 50.00 Hz in the respective files.

What a recording contains

Each 112.5 s recording covers the whole run, not only steady-state operation: motor start-up (roughly the first 10–20 s), steady running, spin-down, and then a stretch with the motor off (current near zero) until the end of the file. The start and stop times differ from file to file and between trials.

The mfs-datamodule loader keeps samples 200000:920000 (15.6–71.9 s) to drop the start-up and spin-down portions. That crop is almost entirely steady-state in both trials: on average 0.5% of the crop in trial 1 and 1.3% in trial 2 is start-up or spin-down.

Trial 1 vs trial 2

The two trials are independent recordings of the same 32 operating points, not copies of each other. No files are byte-identical, the vibration channels are uncorrelated between trials (|r| ≤ 0.11 in all 32 pairs), and a time-shift search finds no alignment. The source documentation does not describe how the sessions differed. Observed differences:

  • Run timing. Steady running starts at 9–23 s in trial 1 and 11–20 s in trial 2, and ends at 76–104 s in trial 1 and 69–90 s in trial 2.

  • Vibration amplitude of several mechanical faults. The table below gives steady-state RMS on channel 0, trial 2 ÷ trial 1:

    Condition Trial 2 / trial 1
    faulted_bearings 2.1–3.8×
    rotor_misalignment 1.3–3.6×
    rotor_bowed 2.0–2.6×
    rotor_broken 0.54–0.72×
    phase_loss 0.57–1.36×
    normal, rotor_unbalance, voltage_unbalance ≈ 1.0–1.2×
  • Unchanged: the drive frequency. The shaft speed agrees within 0.2 Hz for 29 of 32 operating points; the three exceptions (normal, phase_loss, voltage_unbalance at 33.3 Hz, load 3) differ by 0.8–1.3 Hz.

These differences cause a cross-session shift. A logistic-regression classifier on log-PSD features of 1024-sample steady-state windows reaches 99.5% / 99.8% accuracy within trial 1 / trial 2 (temporal 70/30 split). Trained on one trial and tested on the other, it drops to 77% (trial 1 → trial 2) and 83% (trial 2 → trial 1). Most of the errors fall on rotor_broken and rotor_misalignment.

Usage

import numpy as np
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="xijiazhao/welding2",
    repo_type="dataset",
    filename="trial=1/condition=normal-frequency=50.0-load=0.npy",
)
x = np.load(path)            # (3, 1440000): accel-y, accel-x, current
steady = x[:, 200000:920000]  # drop start-up / spin-down

To fetch everything: hf download xijiazhao/welding2 --repo-type dataset --local-dir mfs_motor_fault_data_set.

With mfs-datamodule, point data_dir at a single trial folder (for example .../trial=1). The loader searches for .npy files recursively and takes labels only from file names. Given the dataset root, it will silently merge both trials with no trial label.
