  abstract = {This paper presents a benchmark data set for condition monitoring
	of rolling bearings in combination with an extensive description
	of the corresponding bearing damage, the data set generation by experiments
	and results of datadriven classifications used as a diagnostic method.
	The diagnostic method uses the motor current signal of an electromechanical
	drive system for bearing diagnostic. The advantage of this approach
	in general is that no additional sensors are required, as current
	measurements can be performed in existing frequency inverters. This
	will help to reduce the cost of future condition monitoring systems.
	A particular novelty of the present approach is the monitoring of
	damage in external bearings which are installed in the drive system
	but outside the electric motor. Nevertheless, the motor current signal
	is used as input for the detection of the damage. Moreover, a wide
	distribution of bearing damage is considered for the benchmark data
	set. The results of the classifications show that the motor current
	signal can be used to identify and classify bearing damage within
	the drive system. However, the classification accuracy is still low
	compared to classifications based on vibration signals. Further,
	dependency on properties of those bearing damage that were used for
	the generation of training data are observed, because training with
	data of artificially generated and real bearing damages lead to different
	accuracies. Altogether a verified and systematically generated data
	set is presented and published online for further research},
