Fan 2X Vibration
Registered Member Hi Dave, Appreciate the feedback on the weekend. You've given me lots of new ideas to troubleshoot! Responses to your comments and questions below as well as some photos and dwgs for clarification. ...please provide photos of how the fan is connected to concrete. How is it isolated? The attached jpg shows two out of the four vertical spring isolators (at south-east and south-west positions) as well as a horizontal spring. There are 2 more vertical springs on the opposite corners (north-east... [ more ]
Registered Member Now we are getting somewhere....please provide photos of how the fan is connected to concrete. How is it isolated? I see flexible boot in you new images. The "middle" image you recently posted shows "rust", brown colored powder where the fan meets the concrete. This is where the movement is happening. I do not seen any bolts holding the fan bearing support structure? If you are using a prox probe, you need to be aware of where you are trying to detect movement. If you put the probe on the...

Registered Member Thanks for the feedback, Dave! Much appreciated. I had many of the same thoughts so we're on the same page for sure. I'll add some detail below related to your comments. ********************************* - I suspect the shaft is flexing at full speed - I was wondering whether the shaft or pillow block was shifting position causing the dynamic misalignment symptom, so installed prox probes to monitor DC gap voltage at full speed and during coast down. Vdc gaps didn't change much at all... [ more ]

about ACC adapter for CSI 2130
Registered Member thanks Gearmesh10 I know why , the problem is from my setting . initially , i plugged 628A adapter then choose Mux is "OFF" ( Because i think Mux dedicate to A 648 adapter not 628 A) and that is why value on channel A and B have same value. Finally, i set Mux " ON" the problem is close when each channel has acquire right data. thanks. [ more ]
Registered Member The MUX will work better for the 2130. I used it may times. It also helps to color code the cables for each channel. Easier reference. [ more ]

Abnormal high vibration readings in a 3000 RPM centrifugal fan
Registered Member My bad, it's 30k CPM... 500Hz.... 10x? Any side bands? [ more ]
Registered Member I've seen something similar, There's a reduction in the amplitude... Well the folded paper acts as a mechanical "filter" for high frequency (in this case is not good enough try more folds or a credit card, to measure the low frequency content) but this result is pointing to high frequency overloading the sensor well this still bad news on your bearings, in your last FFT there's a lot of activity around 30kHz what's that? as a learning exercise try to measure the acceleration waveform at... [ more ]
Registered Member I am very grateful for the help and suggestion received so far. I have attached a screenshot with different readings as suggested. With a folded paper in between sensor and bearing housing and Fmax value set to 240000 CPM, the overall vibrations reading shown is 3.18 mm/s. The transducer is of 100 mV/g sensitivity. My understanding based on above comments, is that this is a sensor overload/saturation issue and it would be ok to run the fan under current conditions. Please correct if I am wrong. [ more ]

Effect of high suction pressure on mechanical seqls
Registered Member 1) Seal inspection shows large amount of solids. What kind/manufacturer/model/type of pump and seal. Single seal or double seal. Is there a seal flush or seal pot/support tank. What are you pumping. 2) Yes, seals are designed to handle clean liquids. 3) Not sure what you mean operating above max discharge/suction pressure. High suction pressure can cause seal faces to open and allow debris to damage seal faces. Throttle bushing https://www.pumpsandsystems.co...what-next-generation Clearances... [ more ]

Difference in Vibration Standards ISO2372 and ISO10816
Registered Member stringent requirements will benefit in longer run to keep machines running at lower levels of vibrations and hence increase reliability. This is not necessarily sound logic. ISO standards do (attempt to) set severity levels that permit operation without deterioration from vibration. Setting lower limit values than that will not add much if any value. Your plant reliability data would be an excellent guide in this area. There are some 20816 standards out if they pertain to your equipment. [ more ]

FIFA 23 players that are cheap are vital
Registered Member I personally know a lot of people who are perplexed by this. As a football lover, finding efficient and reasonably priced players in FIFA 23 is thrilling and fulfilling. The recent Hero Pack incident, which led EA to remove millions of coins from the market for virtual transfers, has drawn attention to the dangers associated with exchanging virtual goods. Despite this, what really important is the passion and excitement that football brings, whether on the field or in a video game. While... [ more ]

Rotor Bar Pass Frequency Issue
Registered Member I see quite a support stand for that motor. Usually those are fabricated by welding. I’ve often found them to not be properly stress relieved prior to machining the upper and lower flanges for concentricity and squareness. Unfortunately these dimensions aren’t easy to check in the field but if the stand is ever removed, it might be worthwhile to have the stand checked in a boring mill. [ more ]
Registered Member Sorry forgot to attached image. [ more ]
Registered Member Thanks for the reply John, there might be some soft foot, from the velocity spectrum there are peaks <1 mm/sec and harmonics that indicates looseness and misalignment but I'm not sure if this can distort the motor frame enough since the motor sets on top of the pump frame. The 6x RPM from the spectrum I think is the 2x LF which is around 6000 CPM (airgap?) because this motor have 6 poles. I am from the Southern Hemisphere, so our line frequency is 50 Hz (3000 CPM).

Generator sleeve bearing shaft vibration probes X&Y are showing different values.
Registered Member Your cursor is shown at 25 Hz (1250 cpm). Was the generator synched at the time? Can you expand the region from 0 Hz to about 100 Hz so we can get better definition of the frequencies that are shown? I'm interested in knowing if that DE is showing 1X and 2X and the NDE only showing 1X. Also, what type of coupling is at the DE of the generator? [ more ]
Registered Member Dear Mr. John, I understand the difficulty now, I better be posted in .pdf format. Anyways an experience in this forum. Please find the attached pdf file. [ more ]
Registered Member As you can see from the image I've attached I can't make out the two lowest spectra from your original post. This isn't your problem, just one I encounter on this particular forum where the original post overlaps the forum header information. Can you post the data as an Adobe attachment? I would specifically be interested in knowing whether the data showing the 2X is the DE or NDE of the generator and also if the generator has a coupled exciter. [ more ]

Balancing shop floor operating and testing speed
Registered Member For a low speed balance, i.e., a rotor with rigid behavior, I do not understand high speed variation. The rotor is balanced as a rigid body. High speed (if meaning similar to that in ISO 1925 for high speed balancing) does not apply. [ more ]
Registered Member Then low speed balancing and high speed variation ? [ more ]
Registered Member As I read, your customer asked you to verify the balance measurement at speed. This would not be technically proper. One of the old ISO 1940 (as I recall) had some comments regarding this. Measuring at speed (often) will not produce a valid measure of a low speed balance, particularly insitu if this were to be the case. [ more ]
