Vibration analysis can often pinpoint a failing element of a rotating machine in time to avoid catastrophic failure and costly replacement of machinery as well as lengthy production interruptions Each machine fault generates a specific vibration pattern. The frequency of the vibration is determined by the machine geometry and operating speed

Frequency is the number of times an event occurs in a given time period (the event being one vibration cycle). The frequency at which the vibration occurs indicates the type of fault. That is, certain types of faults “typically” occur at certain frequencies.

m natural frequency causing high vibration. High BPF can be generated if impeller wear ring soizes on shaft or it welds fastening diffuser vanes fail. Also, high BPF can be caused by abrupt bends in pipe (or duct). obstructions which disturb flow, damper settings or if pump or fan rotor

Hopefully at this juncture the effectiveness of the Vibration Analysis Periodic Table as a screening tool is becoming obvious. To this point we have used the frequency and directional response category groupings to eliminate many potential faults, but note that we have NOT once looked at an example spectrum on a wall chart or reference book.

The signal is subject to analysis but whereas vibration analysis monitors signals at low frequencies, which have to be ‘treated’ to eliminate background noise, AE uses higher frequency detection.

This chart applies to the overall rms vibration velocity level with specific limitations: For machines running at speeds above 600 RPM a low frequency cut-off = 10 Hz applies and a maximum frequency Fmax = 1000 Hz applies. For machines running at speeds between 120 RPM and 600 RPM the low frequency cut-off is 2 Hz and the Fmax = 1000 Hz.

the tables opposite and on the following pages indicate the frequencies of bearing parts per shaft revolution, which can be used to calculate excitation frequencies directly by multiplying the tabulated frequencies by the shaft speed.

How To Use This Severity Chart 1) 3-in-1 chart plots vibration measure and levels for: Acceleration vs. CPM, Velocity vs. CPM, and Displacement vs. CPM. 2) Knowing a machine's RPM (i.e. CPM) and the vibration sensing technique (see table below), determine how the machine should perform when new (or rebuilt) and what level might warrant an ALERT or …
