Abstract
A vibration detection device includes a vibration detector that detects vibration generated in a rolling bearing and converts the vibration into an analog signal and a sampler that performs sampling on the analog signal to convert the analog signal into a digital signal. In the vibration, a repeating unit including a first vibration section in which vibration occurs at a predetermined first frequency and a second section following the first vibration section is repeated at a predetermined repetition period, when a flaw is generated in the rolling bearing, and the sampler performs sampling on the analog signal at a sampling frequency lower than twice the first frequency.
