Abstract Bearings are one of the main components of induction motors, machines widely employed in today’s industries, making their monitoring a primordial task; however, most systems focus on measuring one physical magnitude to detect one kind of fault at a time. This research tackles the combination of two common faults, grease contamination and outer race damage, as lubricant contamination significantly impacts the life of the bearing and the emergence of other defects; as a contribution, this paper proposes a methodology for the diagnosis of this combination of faults based on a proprietary data acquisition system measuring vibration and current signals, from which time domain statistical and fractal features are computed and then fused using LDA for dimensionality reduction, ending with an SVM model for classification, achieving 97.1% accuracy, correctly diagnosing the combination of the contamination with different severities of the outer race damage, improving the classification results achieved when using vibration and current signals individually by 7.8% and 27.2%, respectively. Keywords: bearing; fault diagnosis; grease contamination; data fusion; support vector machine
