description Bearings are the key parts of rotating machinery, and their operation status is related to the operation safety of the whole equipment. Vibration signals often contain periodic impulse components which can reflect the fault state of bearings. However, due to the interference of signal transmission path and the influence of operating environment noise, the periodic impulse components in the signal are often submerged by the nonperiodic transient impulse components, modulation harmonic components, and noise components. Therefore, the core problem of bearing fault diagnosis theory is used to accurately extract the frequency band of bearing fault state information and suppress the frequency band of interference information. In this paper, the signal is processed by the tunable Q-factor wavelet transform (TQWT), the midfrequency band of the signal is tightly divided by selecting different Q-values, and the 1.5D spectral kurtosis defined in frequency domain is used to select the optimal subband. Simulated analysis shows that this method can avoid low-frequency harmonic interference, nonperiodic transient impulse components, and strong noise components in the time domain. Therefore, it can effectively realize the selection of the subbands of periodic impulse components and effectively extract fault feature information. Through experimental signal analysis, TQWT has good sparsity decomposition characteristics and can reasonably divide the signal frequency band, so as to separate the useful fault characteristic frequency band and interference frequency band. At the same time, compared with the kurtosis index, 1.5D spectral kurtosis has better robustness and resolution for low signal-to-noise ratio signals, which can achieve the purpose of fault characteristic band extraction.
