Abstract: Deep learning predictive maintenance models suffer from poor transferability across machines and operating conditions, especially when labelled data are scarce and signals span five orders of magnitude in sampling frequency (1 Hz to ~100 kHz). We propose FreqCondNorm, a Transformer-based architecture that introduces a FiLM-style frequency-conditioned normalization layer to unify heterogeneous time-series within a single model. The architecture is pretrained on five public predictive maintenance datasets (CWRU, MFPT, UOC18, PRONOSTIA, CMAPSS) using masked auto-encoding and contrastive learning with balanced domain sampling. On fault diagnosis, the model achieves 99.2% accuracy on CWRU (+6.4 pp over CNN) and 82.1% zero-shot accuracy on MFPT, demonstrating strong transfer across sampling frequencies. However, the approach does not improve remaining useful life prediction, suggesting a mismatch between pretraining and RUL objectives that warrants future investigation.
