Özet
The objective of this study was to identify surface geometric deviations that may adversely affect the operational properties of bearings, including vibration, noise, and service life. A comprehensive prediction model is presented that combines a fundamental trend expressed by a power function with periodic oscillations, whose influence gradually diminishes with exponential decay. The model was calibrated using the experimental data obtained from 17 industrial RA-608-338 rolling bearing rings manufactured from high-carbon, low-alloy 100Cr6 steel. An excellent goodness-of-fit (R2 exceeding 0.98) and minimal root-mean-square error (RMSE) were achieved. The proposed procedure provides a clear physical interpretation of the model’s subcomponents, while facilitating straightforward implementation in real production processes for continuous quality control and predictive maintenance purposes. This paper also includes a detailed description of the methodology, data processing, experimental results, comparison of multiple model variants, interactive visualization of the results on a logarithmic scale, and recommendations for practical application.
