Rolling bearings are critical components of rotating machinery, and their health status directly affects the operational reliability of equipment. This paper proposes an optimized wavelet-SVM fault diagnosis method based on multi-source vibration signal fusion: Three-channel inputs are constructed by synchronously collecting vibration signals from the drive end and fan end, along with their differential signals; Wavelet packet decomposition is utilized to extract frequency-domain features such as unit node energy entropy and wavelet coefficient standard deviation, while dimensionless indicators independent of rotational speed (kurtosis factor/waveform factor/impulse factor) are introduced to enhance time-domain characterization; The fused features are input into an RBF-SVM classifier after dimensionality reduction via PCA (retaining 99% variance, reducing dimensions from 102 to 4). Experiments indicate that on the CWRU dataset, this method achieves 97.0% precision, 96.9% recall, and an F1-score of 96.9% (representing a 2.9% improvement over single-source input methods); Although there is a 2.4% absolute accuracy gap compared to deep learning solutions, it possesses significant edge advantages—memory usage is only 12KB and inference latency is 0.6ms—providing a high-precision, low-cost embedded solution for rotating machinery fault diagnosis
