The speed of rotating parts is often affected by different working conditions in mechanical equipment, which results in more complications in the feature mapping relationship. However, existing methods that address the large fluctuation problem in rotational speed have been formulated merely to improve test accuracy and do not consider the effects of irregular fluctuation frequency on the fault samples located at the class boundary. Thus, to distinguish the health conditions under frequent or irregular fluctuation speeds, this paper explores an enhanced sparse filtering (SF) algorithm based on maximum classifier discrepancy to diagnose the fault conditions caused by speed fluctuation. It considers the superiority of the task-specific decision boundary and adversarial training for the fault diagnosis network. Unlike traditional SF methods, the proposed framework introduces the Wasserstein distance to reduce the domain discrepancy between the source domain and the target domain and then uses the probability output discrepancy of the classifier to locate the fuzzy fault samples on the class boundary. This paper conducts theoretical analysis and experimental comparison and verifies the performance advantages of the framework through bearing and gear experiments under large speed fluctuation conditions. The proposed model also shows an excellent performance even when the speed fluctuates frequently.
