The varying compliance (VC) vibration directly reflects the oscillation intensity of a rolling bearing, and it can be fully revealed in the VC resonance. Moreover, we define the bearing vibration intensity as the bearing vibration information in this paper. Besides the rolling element number of the bearing, the rotor eccentricity is also an inevitable influencing factor for the VC vibration. This paper focuses on the VC resonance characteristics in a ball bearing rotor system. An analytical model is established, and the vibration responses of the system are calculated in a large speed range with the consideration of different ball numbers and different rotor eccentricities. The theoretical results show that the VC vibration is clearer in low-speed range where the VC resonance exist, while it is suppressed in high-speed range. In general, the intensity of the VC resonance decreases with the increase of ball numbers and is not sensible to the rotor eccentricities in low-speed range. Finally, a ball bearing rotor experiment system is setup, the VC resonance is clearly detected, and the high-quality bearing vibration information is obtained. The experimental results qualitatively agree with the theoretical results.
