Page 130: Collecting Data Using An Analysis Expert
Analyze and Advanced Analyze Collecting data using an Analysis Expert The Analysis Experts let you collect data for common troubleshooting tests, including bump tests, PeakVue, coast down, speed detection, order tracking, orbit plots, and cross channel. Each Analysis Expert has a predefined set of data collection parameters that you can use for most situations.
Page 131 Analyze and Advanced Analyze Table 6-1: Uses for Analysis Experts (continued) Symptom or task Recommended Analyze Expert You want to confirm if vibration is • Synchronous Analysis. See Section 6.8.16. bearing-related (non synchronous). • High Frequency Analysis. See Section 6.8.3. You suspect resonance.
Page 132 Analyze and Advanced Analyze 6.8.3 High Frequency Analysis High Frequency Analysis acquires data beyond the maximum frequency of the route point or marked spectra. A spectrum displays the data using an Fmax of 5,000 Hz or it multiplies the Fmax specified in the route by 2. Use High Frequency Analysis when many peaks are on the right side of the spectrum or when a high frequency band, such as HFD, is in alarm.
Page 133 Analyze and Advanced Analyze One or more plots display after the data is collected. Press F9 Store Data to save the data to a route or a job, or press F8 Start to redo the measurement. 6.8.5 Bearing/Gear Analysis - PeakVue Bearing/Gear Analysis - PeakVue detects anti-friction bearing or gear defects earlier than normal vibration measurements.
Page 134 Analyze and Advanced Analyze If you collected data on the measurement point, Low Frequency Analysis - Slow Speed Technology (SST) uses the original acquisition settings. If you mark a low frequency peak in the spectrum before running this test, Low Frequency Analysis - Slow Speed Technology (SST) uses that frequency and sets the new Fmax equal to or just above the marked frequency.
Page 135 Analyze and Advanced Analyze 6.8.8 Laser Speed Detection Laser Speed Detection confirms shaft-turning speed using the CSI 430 SpeedVue Sensor. Note If you turned the tachometer power off from the Tach Setup in Manual Analyze, you can leave the switch for the CSI 430 SpeedVue Sensor on.
Page 136 Analyze and Advanced Analyze Triggers If data collection begins before the hammer hits the machine, increase the trigger level in Manual Analyze to a value greater than the default 0.5 value. This helps prevent background vibration from causing a false trigger and beginning the test too soon. Number of channels The Bump Test Analysis Experts are single-channel measurements.
Page 137 Analyze and Advanced Analyze One or more plots display after the data is collected. Press F9 Store Data to save the data to a route or a job, or press F8 Start to redo the measurement. 6.8.11 Bump Test Equipment Running The Bump Test Equipment Running confirms resonance when you cannot turn the equipment off to perform a normal bump test.
Page 138 Analyze and Advanced Analyze 6.8.12 Coast Down Peak Hold Coast Down Peak Hold checks for resonance during a coast down by holding the highest amplitude in a spectrum. When you shut down the equipment, the operational frequency may excite a suspected resonant frequency. If the vibration peak at the shaft turning speed passes through a resonant frequency during the coast down, the amplitude increases at that frequency and indicates resonance.

Page 141 Analyze and Advanced Analyze Note If you collected data on the measurement point, the Synchronous Analysis Expert uses the original acquisition settings and adds Synchronous Time averaging. A marked frequency is not used for any special data acquisition. Synchronous averaging does not eliminate non-synchronous vibration, it only reduces the vibration.
Page 142 Analyze and Advanced Analyze Note This measurement is not available on single-channel analyzers. For orbit plots, the analyzer uses the lowest input channel for the X axis and the next input for the Y axis. For a two-channel orbit using inputs A and C, A =X and C= Y.
Page 143: Collect Data Using Manual Analyze
Analyze and Advanced Analyze Prerequisites Set up the sensors. To distinguish between imbalance and resonance, place one sensor in the vertical direction and the other in the horizontal direction at the bearing. To distinguish between imbalance and misalignment, place the sensors in the same direction on either side of the coupling.

Page 365 Balance 10.16.4 Identify the correction planes You can balance a rotor system exactly in N+2 planes (where N = the number of shaft criticals below operating speed). Most mechanical systems are designed to operate below their first shaft critical, so use 0 + 2 = 2 planes. Virtually all systems operate below their fourth critical, so use 3 + 2 = 5 planes.

Weights are clamped on by using knurled cup point set screws in combination with cone point set screws on the opposing side.
Page 371 Balance Note As a practical matter of safety, Emerson recommends using trial weights that are securely bolted or welded to the rotor being balanced. Emerson does not warrant the applicability or safety of using any weight glued or clamped onto a rotor, including those contained in this kit.
Page 372 Balance As would be expected, both the 2nd and 3rd configurations proved to hold considerably better than having set screws on only one side. The 3rd configuration usually resulted in some performance improvement over the 2nd configuration however, it gave less consistent results (probably due to the difficulty in getting all the set screws torqued uniformly).
