CONDITIONMONITORING Condition monitoring is defined as the

continuous or periodic measurement &interpretation of data to indicate the condition of an equipment to determine the need for maintenance .

MAINTENANCE TYPESBREAKDOWN MAINTENANCE

REGULAR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

CONDITION BASED MAINTENANCE

WHY CONDITION MONITORING ?

Determination of the condition of a machine or device and its change with time in order to determine its condition at any given time.

PHYSICAL PARAMETERS OF MEASUREMENTvibrationNoiseTemperatureOil Contaminationwear debris etc

CONDITION MONITORING THROUGH VIBRATION ANALYSISWhat is Vibration?

It is the response of a system

to an internal or external force which causes the system to oscillate.

AMPLITUDE MEASUREMENT1. Displacement :

Total distance traveled by the mass.

Unit : Microns

2. Velocity :

Rate of change of displacement. It is the

measure of the speed at which the mass is

vibrating during its oscillation.

Unit : MM/Sec, Inch/sec

3. Acceleration :

It is the rate of change of velocity. The

greater the rate of change of velocity the

greater the forces (P=mf) on the machines.

Unit : MM/Sec2, Inch/sec2

When To Use Disp., Vel. & Acc.?

WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF USING VELOCITY?

Flat frequency range compared to displacement & acceleration.

Almost all machines generate fault frequency between 600CPM to 60KCPM

Velocity indicates fatigue. Velocity is the best indicator of vibration severity.

MEASUREMENT DIRECTION - HORI, VERT, AXIAL

CAUSES OF VIBRATION (CONT.,)1. Unbalance (Static, Couple, Quasi-Static),

2. Misalignment (Angular, Parallel, Combination)

3. Eccentric Rotor, Bent Shaft

4. Mechanical Looseness, Structural Weakness,

Soft Foot

5. Resonance, Beat Vibration

6. Mechanical Rubbing

7. Problems Of Belt Driven Machines

CAUSES OF VIBRATION 8. Journal Bearing Defects

9. Antifriction Bearing Defects

(Inner race, Outer race, Cage, Rolling Elements)

10. Hydrodynamic & Aerodynamic Forces

(Blade Or Vane, Flow turbulence, Cavitation)

11. Gear Problems (Tooth wear, Tooth load, Gear eccentricity,

Backlash, Gear misalignment, Cracked Or Broken Tooth)

12. Electrical Problems of AC & DC Motor ( Variable Air Gap,

Rotor Bar Defect, Problems of SCRs)

CAUSES OF UNBALANCE Uneven distribution of mass of rotor.

Dirt accumulation on fan rotors.

Rotor eccentricity

Roller deflection, especially in paper machines

Machining errors

Uneven erosion and corrosion of pump impellers

Missing balance weights

TYPES OF UNBALANCE Static Unbalance

Couple Unbalance

Overhang Rotor Unbalance

Remarks: 1. Maximum vibration value of 8.6 mm/sec was observed at Fan Drive End (914 rpm). 2. Observed that overall vibration is less (7.0 mm/sec) in 933 rpm. So 933 to 951 rpm are recommended for operating speed instead of 914 rpm.3. During dynamic balancing they have added 3.4 kg in impeller .This weight (3.4 kg) was not exactly placed in the required area. Hence the dynamic balancing (weight & phase angle) to be rechecked. 4. Lubricate Fan Non Drive End bearing.

CAUSES OF MISALIGNMENT Thermal expansion - Most machines align cold.

Machine vibrations.

Forces transmitted to the machine by pipe or

support structure.

Soft foot.

Direct coupled machined are not properly aligned.

Poor workmanship.

TYPES OF MISALIGNMENT

Angular

Centre lines of two shafts meet at an angle

Offset

The shaft centre lines are parallel, but

displaced from one another.

A combination of angular and offset misalignment

Spectrum:

MECHANICAL LOOSENESS: It alone can not create vibration but in the

influence of Unbalance, Misalignment, Bearing problems it amplify the amplitude.

It should be corrected first.

Types:1.Structural frame/base looseness (1X)2. Cracked structure/bearing pedestal (2X)

3. Rotating looseness - Loose bearing/improper

fit between component parts. (Multiple)

Spectrum:

OIL WHIRL

Cause: Excessive clearance and light radial loading. This results in the oil film building up and forcing the journal to migrate around in the bearing at less than one-half RPM.

It can create metal to metal contact.

WHY DOES BEARING FAIL?1. Improper lubrication

2. Contaminated lubrication

3. Heavier loading from unbalance,Misalignment,

bent shaft etc.

4. Improper handling or installation.

5. Old age (Surface fatigue) .
