Whether it is your 6ob to collect the data and*or analyse the data it is important to
understand that the technologies will not give you the answer to a machinesproblem unless you have collected meaningful1 quality data
There are certain considerations that must be ta$en prior to any data being
collected1 these are7
good understanding of the internal ma$e up of the machine1 in order to
understand the best transmission path for data collection 8 bearing locations1
load 'ones etc2
Ensure data is collected in a repeatable manner so we can compare two or more
readings to each other 8 trending purposes
5ariable speed machines 8 it is very important to collect data with the correct
running speed enter into the analyser

Transmission PathTransmission Path
)amaged caused to a machine component will cause a certain amount of
vibration*sound or heat to propagate away from the initial impact2 -t is the effect of the impact*force that we are trying to detect
-n many cases the further you are away from the initial event the wea$er the signal
will become1 resulting in the data appearing to be lower in value2
-n more e9treme cases the impact can be lost amongst other machine noise by the
time it has reached your transducer1 resulting in no detection of a machine problem2
:sually the best place to acquire data from a machine1 is at the bearings2
/ This is because the bearings are the only part of the machine that connect
the internal rotating components to the stationary components ;%asing<

%ollect data in the same manner each time2
This consistency will allow you to trend the machinery condition and properly 6udge the
progression of faults
-n order to aid with repeatable data the analyser requests for data to be collected in
certain locations on the machine2
These are called ="easurement Points>

This e9ample1 is of two frequency sources that are not harmonically related2 ;C B' and
34 B'< This is the $ind of signal that could be created when a 8pole motor has an
electrical hum problem2
-t can be seen that the higher frequency wave does not always start at the same part of
the lower frequency cycle and therefore appears to Oride on the other wave causing
symmetry to be lost2 %are must be e9ercised when determining symmetry of the time

avoid confusion2

t first glance this waveform appears to have large impacts occurring with somewhat
similar spacing2 The hori'ontal a9is is scaled in time units2
.y using +P" as the hori'ontal a9is and applying 3 9 +P" mar$ers the ma6or impacts
can be seen to be occurring at appro9imately the same part of the revolution2 Bowever
closer inspection reveals that the spacing is not e9actly synchronous -n this case the
problem was a single large defect on the inner race of a bearing2 The change in
amplitude of the defect was due to the defect coming in and out of the load 'one2

Beat4 Mo3ulat0o# e::ect4
nother e9cellent application for time waveform is the observation of beat frequencies
and modulation effects2 ften these phenomena are audible2 The time span for data
collection should be set to capture D8C cycles of the beat2
The time period between the beats on the above waveform is 42C s2 (rom this informationthe frequency of the beat is calculated at 34 %P"2 This represents the frequency
difference between the two source frequencies -n this case the beat was caused by
interaction between a H +P" vibration source and a 9 f! vibration source on an
induction motor2

Impact4
When the ((T process is applied to a signal that contains impacts the true
amplitude of the vibration is often greatly diminished2 The following time waveform
was ta$en from an 344 +P" machine2 -t shows several random impacts with
magnitudes over g p$2 The cause of this signal was a failed rolling element
bearing2 The shape of the waveform often appears to be a large spi$e followed by a
Oring down2

maintenance program2
Time waveform analysis is an analysis tool2 -t would not recommend that it be ta$en on
all measurement locations on a regular basis2 This would add significantly to the time

The %rest (actor is equal to the pea$ amplitude of a waveform divided by the +", value2 The
purpose of the crest factor calculation is to give an analyst a quic$ idea of how much impacting
is occurring in a waveform2 -mpacting is often associated with roller bearing wear1 %avitation and
gear tooth wear2
-n a perfect sine wave1 with an amplitude of O31 the +", value is equal to 2F4F1 and the crest factor
is then equal to 32D32 perfect sine wave contains no impacting and therefore crest factors with a
value higher than 32D3 imply that there is some degree of impacting2

Tt wor$ so well when one has a signal
that consists of non8periodic events1 impacts or random noise 2 .oth impacts and random
noise appear the same in the spectrum although they mean different things in the conte9t of
machinery vibration analysis2 The crest factor is therefore useful in giving the analyst a quic$
idea of what is occurring in the time waveform2

-n below figures we can see an e9ample of the use of the %rest (actor2 The waveform in figure
on left has a crest factor of @2432 The waveform in figure on right has a crest factor of 3232
The data in figure on left represents a machine with serious rolling element bearing wear1 and
the crest factor is relatively high due to the amount of impacting occurring within the bearing2
The data in figure on right represents a machine with an unbalance1 but no impacting related to
bearing wear2

The %rest (actor is a quic$ and useful calculation that gives the analyst an idea of how
much impacting is occurring in a time waveform2 This is useful information that is lost if
one is only viewing a spectrum as the ((T cannot differentiate between impacting and
random noise2 -mpacting in a time waveform may indicate rolling element bearing wear1
gear tooth wear or %avitation2 #uite often1 the %rest (actor is trended over time in order
to see if the amount of impacting is increasing or not2
