A Novel method based on operational modal analysis for monitoring the preload degradation of linear guideways in machine tools

A novel method for automatically monitoring the preload degradation of linear guideway type (LGT) recirculating linear ball bearings of an X-Y table is proposed. Both simulations and experiments revealed that the reduction in the natural frequency corresponding to the yawing mode of the worktable wa...
