Explore vibration analysis within predictive maintenance, focusing on condition monitoring and pH curve concepts to forecast failures and optimize maintenance planning.
Compare time waveform and spectrum to identify shaft speed, fan blade, and bearing forcing frequencies, and track cage and ball pass frequencies to diagnose bearing fault progression.
Explore vibration analysis through integration and differentiation, converting acceleration to velocity and displacement to reveal high- and low-frequency forcing in gears, bearings, and shafts.
Learn how integration and differentiation affect vibration signals, using roll off and high pass filters to manage low frequency amplification, with analog and digital integration for velocity and displacement.
Explore how the digitization process uses sampling rate and line of resolution to convert an analog vibration signal from an accelerometer into discrete time records and rebuild the time waveform.
Explore the relation between spectrum and time waveform in digitizing vibration signals, covering sampling rate, aliasing, leakage, resolution, and Nyquist theory.
Increase the sampling rate to 100 Hz to show that sampling must exceed twice the highest frequency of interest, per Nyquist theory, for accurate waveform reconstruction.
Apply windowing to mitigate leakage in fft by shaping the time record with zero ends, and adjust resolution using window factors like the hanning or hamming window.
Learn how averaging stabilizes vibration spectra by reducing noise in rotating machinery, using linear averaging and mean-square averaging, peak hold, and typical averages (4–10) to improve FFT accuracy.
Explore the four bearing fault stages, from subsurface damage detectable by ultrasound enveloping above 20 kHz to outer race damage, with acceleration and velocity spectrum signatures.
Explore induction motor forcing frequencies, from line frequency to rotor bar pass and slip frequencies, and learn how synchronous speed and pole pass frequency influence rotor and stator vibration characteristics.
Compute slip frequency from the difference between the line frequency and rotor speed, using the number of poles to determine synchronous speed and pole pass frequency.
Master phase analysis in vibration data to diagnose misalignments, unbalanced shafts, eccentricity, and soft foot using absolute phase and two-channel accelerometer phase comparisons.
Analyze unbalancing in vibration analysis by distinguishing static, dynamic, and couple imbalances through spectrum features like a single x peak, phase relations, and speed-proportional amplitudes.
Analyze misalignment in vibration readings using axial and radial phase data to distinguish it from imbalance, and identify parallel versus angular misalignment and harmonic signatures.
Identify eccentricity as the center of rotation offset from bearing or rotor. Sensor alignment along the belt shows peak radial vibration with 0 or 180-degree phase, unlike imbalance's 90-degree phase.
