description High-precision spindle bearing is one of the most critical and vulnerable parts in a motorized spindle. Its unexpected failure may lead to production loss. Stochastic resonance (SR) is a weak signal detection method, which can obtain noise energy in strong background noise and enhance incipient fault characteristics of spindle bearing. Based on the fact that asymmetry can improve the enhancement ability of asymmetric bistable SR in weak feature extraction, we introduce an underdamped well-width asymmetric bistable SR (UABSR) method to the field of bearing fault diagnosis for the first time. However, the engineering application of UABSR can still be limited by two aspects. Firstly, the SNR index can take effect only when the actual fault frequency is obtained in advance, so the UABSR method is at high-cost in real practices. Secondly, an appropriate band-pass filter band range of the bearing faults can hardly be obtained due to the massive impulsive noise in operations. Here an improved UABSR method for spindle bearing fault diagnosis is proposed. Infogram method is used to process and analysis the original vibration signal for resisting the influence from the impulsive noise and obtaining more accurate frequency range of spindle bearing fault. In addition, time domain zero-crossing (TDZC) index, as the index of the improved UABSR method, can directly reflect the fault characteristics of spindle bearings without knowing the accurate fault characteristic frequency in advance. Besides, the Quantum Genetic Algorithms (QGAs) and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm are combined to simultaneously obtain the optimal system parameter, the asymmetric ratio, the damping factor and the rescaling factor of the improved UABSR model. Comparing the Infogram and original UABSR methods, the improved UABSR method performs better effect in incipient spindle bearing fault diagnosis.
