INTRODUCTION TO VIBRATION TECHNOLOGY

By: Ahmed Hesham Salem Mohammed J. ELGohary Shehab Sameh Salem

WHAT IS VIBRATION?
Vibration can be defined as simply the cyclic or oscillating motion of a machine or machine component from its position of rest.

WHAT CAUSES VIBRATION?


1. Change in direction with time. 2. Change in amplitude or intensity with time. 3. Result in friction between rotating and stationary machine components. 4. Cause impacts. 5. Cause randomly generated forces such as flow turbulence in fluid-handling devices such as fans, blowers and pumps; or combustion turbulence in gas turbines or boilers.

WHY WORRY ABOUT A MACHINES VIBRATION?


1. Increased dynamic forces (loads) reduce machine life. 2. Amplitudes of machinery vibration are directly proportional to the amount of dynamic forces (loads) generated. If you double the force, you double the vibration. 3. The lower the amount of generated dynamic forces, the lower the levels of machinery vibration and the longer the machine will perform before failure.

THREE WAYS TO MAINTAIN MACHINERY:

1. Breakdown maintenance 2. Scheduled or "preventive" maintenance 3. Predictive maintenance

VIBRATION AS A PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE TOOL


Parameters that can be measured and trended to detect the onset of problems include: 1. Machinery vibration 2. Lube oil analysis including wear particle analysis 3. Ultrasonic (thickness) testing 4. Motor current analysis 5. Infrared thermography 6. Bearing temperature

THE VIBRATION PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM


A vibration predictive maintenance program consists of three logical steps:
DETECTION ANALYSIS CORRECTION

CHARACTERISTICS OF VIBRATION
Whenever vibration occurs, there are actually four (4) forces involved that determine the characteristics of the vibration. These forces are: l. The exciting force, such as unbalance or misalignment. 2. The mass of the vibrating system, denoted by the symbol (M). 3. The stiffness of the vibrating system, denoted by the symbol (K). 4. The damping characteristics of the vibrating system, denoted by the symbol (C).

THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT DEFINE VIBRATION


These characteristics include:
Frequency Displacement Velocity Acceleration Phase

ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS FOR VIBRATION DETECTION & ANALYSIS
