Cooling Tower Fan High Motor Vibration
Dears, We have a CT made by 22 cells, separated in 2 Blocks. Last week one of them tripped because of HH vibration on the Motor side (the limit is set to 9mm/s). I checked the spectrum and I found a “strange” frequency that I have never seen on these fans (around 88Hz). The behavior was confirmed by the SKF portable instrument. The speed of the motor is 1485 rpm and fan speed is 106 rpm (6blades). I suspected some looseness so I suggested to make an inspection, looking for some loose bolts...

Cooling Tower Gearbox High Vibration
Hi! We have five induced draft cooling fans installed at our site. Recently we experienced high vibration on one of our fan gearbox having accelerometer installed in horizontal direction to gearbox casing. The max vibration was around 17 mm/sec and spectrum revealed GMFs with modulation where 2 x GMFs dominated for first set gears which are spiral bevel gears. Any idea what could be the probable issue?? Is it due to misaligned gears?? If yes then what factors could contribute to this issue?

Re: High Vibration
If some kind of rotor asymmetry is causing vibration oscillation of at pole pass frequency during solo run, vibration will vary very very very slowly (pole pass period might be 30 minutes). Rotor asymmetry could include a static bow or a dynamic bow (operating near flexible rotor resonance) or excess bearing clearance or (less likely) rotor bar problem. by the way, we don't know anything about your machine (horizontal/vertical, bearing type, which direction was 1x measured).

2x LF ??? pls post FFT... Did you check any side bands around there..

Re: seal air fan (Radial Fan) Axial Vibration
" that 7.6 orders matching with bearing outer race but after checking the bearing outer races are normal" You have outer race fault frequency with 1xSS sidebands (modulation), so it sure looks like an outer race fault! How did you or someone actually "check the outer race"? Most bearings require destructive disassembly (cut apart) to actually see the full bearing race surface. Don't get lost in a pile of data! Walt

Re: 6000 v elecric motor high vibration
thanks for all we dont have side band. my question is why 100HZ freq disappear when we start motor at600 rpm on the ground at work shop. what was happened for that. i think it is related to soft foot or distortion of motor frame. do u agree with me?
Reply
Re: 6000 v elecric motor high vibration
That is because you reduced rpm. 600rpm/993rpm = X / 100Hz. So at 600rpm you should see disturbance at app. 60Hz. The amplitude should not be so dominant because of reduced speed. Normaly you should better see this electric source disturbances in the envelope spectrum.

thanks becar after reduce rpm we dont have 60HZ at de side. envelope was normal with out any specific frequency. just at ndes side we have 1x peak at fft.

Re: seal air fan (Radial Fan) Axial Vibration
[quote] inner race clearances was 0.3 mm.[/quote] Can you explain more about this measurement? I hope it is not between bearing and shaft (that should not be clearance) What style bearing is it?
Reply
Re: seal air fan (Radial Fan) Axial Vibration
I advice you to make mark using (correction pen) between the bearing outer race and lower part of housing and another mark between bearing inner race and shaft, and keep the fan running for some hours, then stop and inspect the marks position for the possibility of bearing rotation inside the housing.

Re: seal air fan (Radial Fan) Axial Vibration
Y@SH, I looked at your three photos. None of the photos show the surface of the outer race/ring that is in the contact path of the rollers. The bearing would have to be destructively taken apart to do so. Therefore your limited inspection does not prove or disprove an outer race defect. The only way to do that would be to remove the grease and cut the bearing rings apart. You can save that activity for a later date when you change the bearing. If you actually put in new bearing when those...

Re: 6000 v elecric motor high vibration
Put the motor back on it's base, uncoupled and loosen one foot while up at speed. Tighten and do next foot and so on until you find foot that drops the vibration. That would confirm your theory of a twisted frame due to soft foot. Ron Brook

Re: 6000 v elecric motor high vibration
pictures please. Vibration of a vertical motor on a pump is usually higher than a horizontal motor. Structural weakness and even resonance are frequently the problem. 1X, blade pass, or any other excuse is all the structure needs to throw a tantrum.

Re: High Vibration due to flow turbulence
Hello, We also experienced a similar case, it's very usual to see this condition on recirculation mode. There is a water pump system where we have 4 pumps working to boost water to our cupper concentrator plant. In minimum flow requeriment one of them was supposed to recirculate water to the tank and had flow restriction on pipe because of its diameter and valve flow restriction itself. We recommend to recirculate for short periods and the valve fully opened because this valve was suffering...

Re: High Vibration due to flow turbulence
Yup. Operating at too low flow creates excess internal recirculation and can result in recirculation cavitation (not your normal cavitation due to low npsh) Increase in broadband and in blade pass are classic symptoms Prefer nto avoid that condition too long., There are certainly design changes that could be made to make a pump more tolerant of this condition. Ordinarily that would only be pursued after pump inspection showed evidence of a particular damage mechanism from the recirculation.

Re: High 2660 CPM vibration at variable speed 4 pole electric motor
if the vibration frequency of interest is present on all 6 machines it may be from another source completely. 2660 / 3 = 886 rpm . Possible vane pass from a nearby pump or mixer etc rotating at 886 rpm?

Re: High 2660 CPM vibration at variable speed 4 pole electric motor
What does the vibration do when you run the motor slower or faster than 87-97%? What type of bearings are in the motor? 1) Data you posted shows a high 2x TS peak, the ratio of vibration from 1x to 2x is over 4:1, this is not normal, can indicate a resonance issue. 2) At the base of the 2x TX peak, notice how it has a small "haystack" of energy, this is can be an indication of a natural frequency, done any bump tests, startup/coastdown tests? 3) With the motor running at trouble some speeds,...

Re: Examples Of High frequency vibrations?
Your request is not something that most people are involved with....most machinery vibrations occur way below 6khz, the range you are requesting belongs in the "ultrasonic" range, typically ultrasonic equipment measures this frequency range. http://www.uesystems.com/resources https://www.maintenance.org/top...ed-us-training-class Dave

Re: Examples Of High frequency vibrations?
But sir, If no vibration generates with such high frequency then why the Instrument Manufactures gives instruments with frequency ranges upto 40 khz, 80 khz(for vibration). Are they fooling US?.
Reply
Re: Examples Of High frequency vibrations?
Ultrasonic evaluation in the 20-100khz range, is used for air leak surveys, steam traps, lubrication, bearings etc. Your statement "instrument manufacturer" encompasses millions of pieces of test equipment. Some people maybe using an instrument/data collector to identify frequencies in this range, but there would be a very small number of people doing this. Example, jet engine turning 26,000 rpm with 200 individual blades on one rotor, 26kX200/60=86,666hz/86khz or 5,200,000 cpm No one is...
