Condition monitoring isthe process of monitoring a
parameter of condition in machinery, such that a
significant change is indicative of a developing failure. It
is a major component of Predictive Maintenance
(PdM). The use of conditional monitoring allows
maintenance to be scheduled, or other actions to be
taken to avoid the consequences of failure, before the
failure occurs.

What Is Vibration?
Vibration is a "back and forth" movement of a structure. It can also be
referred to as a "cyclical" movement
12.
Machine failures

cause of failure
are very costly…
sometimes spectacular,
13.
Vibration Analysis
More than20 years ago someone made the statement, “The
vibrations produced in a machine are the best indication of the
machine’s health.” This statement still holds true today. Of all the
predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies, vibration analysis
remains the best measure of machine health. This is true because
vibration monitoring can alert us to so many different conditions
that may indicate potential machine failures. Unbalance,
misalignment, bearing faults, resonance, looseness, cavitations and
electrical problems are just a few of the many problems that can be
detected with vibration monitoring.
What we Measurefor
Vibration Analysis
Amplitude: How Much Movement
Occurs or severity of the vibration.
Amplitude measures as
1. Displacement: mm, mils (0.001”)
2. Velocity: mm/sec, in/sec
3. Acceleration: G’s (1g= Force of
gravity) or rms (root mean square)
Frequency: How Often The
Movement Occurs. How many
"cycles" in a period of time: a
second or a minute
Unit: Cycle per second (Hz)
Cycle per Minute (CPM)
Phase: In What Direction Is
The Movement. It also called
phase angle.
Unit: Degree
16.
How we measureVibration
Axial: Axial direction is always on
the parallel to the shaft axis.
Vertical: A Transducer
Mounted Vertically "Sees“
Only Vertical Movement
Horizontal: A Transducer
Mounted Horizontally "Sees"
Only Horizontal Movement

Oil Analysis
OIL .. . your engine’s lifeblood . . .

25.
What Oil Analysis
Oilanalysis is a quick, nondestructive way to gauge the health
of an engine by looking at what's in the oil. It is as like as
medical blood test, where we can know about our diseases
from our blood.

Sliding Wear
• Severesliding wear commences
when the wear surface stresses
become excessive due to load
and/or speed.
• Many sliding wear particles have
surface striations as a result of
sliding.
• Severe sliding wear starts with
particles greater than 15 µm.

Thermography
Infra Red Thermographyis a technique for producing a visible
image of invisible (to our eyes). Infra red radiation emitted by
objects due to their thermal conditions. The amount of radiation
emitted by an object increases with temperature; therefore,
thermography allows one to see variations in temperature.
45.
Why Thermography?
• NonContact
• Rapid Scanning
• Data can be recorded in differing formats
• Images produced are comprehensive & reliable

• Non Contact
•Non Intrusive

Editor's Notes
#42 Cutting wear particles are curved, forming loops and spirals, much like miniature machining swarf.
Another Scanning Electron Photomicrograph of Cutting Wear Particles. In this view some large, abrasive contaminant particles may also be seen.
#44 Metal spheres may be generated by welding and grinding. Fly ash from coal fired power plants contain large numbers of both ferrous (magnetic) spheres and glass (nonmetallic and transparent) spheres. Metal spheres are generated in large numbers at steel mills and foundries.
Scanning Electron Photomicrograph of Ferrous Spheres. On rare occasions, ferrous spheres may be generated by the surfaces of rolling element bearings as a precursor to fatigue spalling. Spheres generated by this wear mode are all of the same approximate size and are small, less than 5 µm.
