Oil WhirlJournal Bearings
Most journal-bearing problems will generate spectral peaks at lower frequencies than 1X, and these are called sub-synchronous peaks. Sometimes harmonics of these sub-synchronous peaks are also created, indicating severe degradation of the bearing. Here are some things to look for in diagnosing journal bearings:
