Bearing Defect Visualizer

This tool demonstrates the characteristic frequencies associated with rolling element bearing defects. Using bearing geometry inputs such as number of rolling elements, pitch diameter, ball diameter, and contact angle, the visualizer calculates the fundamental defect frequencies including:

• Fundamental Train Frequency (FTF)
• Ball Pass Frequency Outer Race (BPFO)
• Ball Pass Frequency Inner Race (BPFI)
• Ball Spin Frequency (BSF)

The program plots these frequencies on a simulated vibration spectrum and allows users to select different defect types to see their expected spectral signatures. The tool also includes descriptions and images explaining the physical mechanisms behind each defect type.

This visualizer helps analysts understand how bearing geometry translates into measurable vibration frequencies.
