Bearing Condition Monitoring

The diagnosis of bearing damage in roller bearings is an integral part of servicing and maintenance tasks. Condition monitoring systems (CMS) are increasingly being used for machine diagnoses. Many CMS systems are based on vibration measurements. Two contrasting approaches exist: diagnostic, qualitative  approach (envelope spectrum); quantitative  approach (vibration velocity). Delphin's Expert Vibro Devices are suitable for both approaches. The quantitative approach integrates the acceleration time signal into vibration velocity. The vibration velocity is then usually monitored as a sum level. An Expert Vibro device is able to calculate an envelope spectrum from the time signals of acceleration sensors. it provides detailed information on the condition of the bearing (inner and outer rings, cage and ballbearings).

Application features

  • Evaluation of vibration velocity Veff according to DIN ISO 10816
  • FFT analysis within the device / frequency band monitoring
  • Evaluation using envelope spectrum on bearing damage

Turbines/generators monitor

Vibrations on turbines and generators can be monitored for improper vibration values irrespective of power class and bearing type. The vibration velocity is typically monitored. By using Expert Vibro devices, vibration velocity sensors can be used. The vibration velocity from the sensor signal is measured proportionally and converted into an effective value. If vibration acceleration sensors are used, the signal is integrated online and transferred into vibration velocity. The TRMS and peak to peak es are then created and continuously monitored by threshold channels. If a threshold is exceeded, digital outputs are switched or messages sent to controllers via a fieldbus.

Application features

  • Monitoring of vibrations on hydroelectric turbines and air gaps
  • Diagnosing damage in ship drives, bearings and shafts
  • Acquisition and monitoring of combustion chamber vibrations in gas turbines
  • Monitoring and signal evaluation in test stands
  • Mobile system (measurement case) for vibration measurement technology on the go

Typical areas of application

  • Small industrial gas turbine monitoring
  • Gas engine monitoring
  • Compressor and supercharger monitoring
  • Engine and drives monitoring

Vibration test stands

Vibrations tests are carried out during the development of many products. Test samples are mounted on shakers and shaken and rattled according to requirements. Vibration measurements are taken at the shaker itself and at the test sample. Vibrations patterns at the test sample are referenced back to the shaker and frequencies, phase shifts and amplitudes undergo measurement. Expert Vibro is especially suited to such tasks. 8 or 16 synchronous inputs enable processing of all the required measurements. The device is also able to simultaneously control the shaker and provide set-point values. Digital outputs monitor characteristic values and can be used for switching procedures in the event of an alarm.
