Wonderly Certified Vibration Specialist ISO Certified Vibration Institute Emerson Process Advanced Maintenance Technologies Ray W. Wonderly ISO Certified Vibration Analyst Vibration Institute Emerson Process Predictive Technologies VIBRATION ANALYSIS Vibration Analysis Overview Introduction VIBRATION ANALYSIS AGENDA PURPOSE, SCOPE USING VIBRATION STANDARDS CASE HISTORIES BENEFITS OF VIBRATION ANALYSIS VIBRATION ANALYSIS PURPOSE, SCOPE TO DETECT POTENTIAL FAULTS OF EQUIPMENT, THAT LEFT UNDETECTED OR UNATTENDED, COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF EQUIPMENT. TO VERIFY AND ASSURE EQUIPMENT IS OPERATING SATISFACTORY AND AS REQUIRED TO CERTIFY NEW AND REBUILT EQUIPMENT USING VIBRATION STANDARDS TO ASSURE QUALITY OF OPERATION VIBRATION ANALYSIS PURPOSE, SCOPE EARLY DETECTION OF EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS TO ALLOW BETTER SCHEDULING OF MAINTENANCE WORK PERFORMED ON A AS NEEDED PROACTIVE BASIS VERSUS EMERGENCY OR CRISIS REPAIR PERFORM VIBRATION ANALYSIS AND TO ANALYZE, STORE AND TREND DATA FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR ORGANIZATION & RELIABILITY OF EQUIPMENT 1

2 Predictive Technologies Vibration Analysis (Root Cause) Infrared / Thermography Ultra Sound Laser Alignment Oil Analysis / Tribology Motor Current Analysis High Speed Video / Fiber Optics What Is Vibration Analysis Of all the parameters to measure equipment, the vibration signature contains the most information The vibration signature not only provides information concerning the severity of a problem, but it also points to the possible source, or root cause of the problem Vibration Analysis Substantial Reduction In Machinery Problems/Failures Extended Equipment Life Total Cost Savings Equipment Repairs, Maintenance & Plant Operations Vibration Analysis Strengths Will give very early detection of potential fault (problem) Will give you the root cause of a problem (Unbalance, Misalignment, Bearings, etc.) Cost Savings Less major maintenance minor repairs vs. major catastrophic repairs ALL MACHINES VIBRATE EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IS A PROBLEM 2

3 Frequency Domain (Spectra) ALL FAULT TYPES HAVE THEIR OWN CHARACTERISTIC VIBRATION PATTERNS Frequency & Amplitude Frequency Determines Type Of Fault Amplitude Determines Severity Of Fault Important Machine Information Operating (Reference) Speed Of Machine Components such as Motor, Pump, Blower Equipment Must Be Running Important Information Reference Speed Of All Components Bearing Information Belt Information Coupling Information # Vanes/Blades # Gear Teeth Safety When Working Around Rotating Equipment Operational Speed 3600 RPM = 60 RPS 1800 RPM = 30 RPS Always Lock Out Equipment When Performing Maintenance Work Types of Machinery Faults Unbalance Misalignment Mechanical Looseness Bearing Faults Vane & Blade Pass (Flow Disturbance) Gear Electrical (Air Gap, Stator, Rotor) 3
