Online Store: Technical Paper - Time Waveform Analysis and Synchronous Time Averaging

Description: 29 Page Booklet on How Time Waveform Analysis & True Synchronous Time Averaging Can Be Used To Effectively Evaluate Machines Which Have Problems Not Necessarily Detectable By FFT Analysis Alone

Part Number TWA-1 (29 page booklet) - $59

    

Highlights:

  • This paper acknowledges that time waveforms can be very complex looking plots, but can often detect problems which FFT spectral analysis alone cannot.
  • For example, spectral analysis alone can almost never detect a cracked or broken gear tooth, rolling element bearing problems on very slow-speed machines predominantly operating at or below 10 RPM, motor start-up transient problems and certain reciprocating compressor problems.
  • It also points out how time waveform analysis can be used to add confirming evidence to problems detected by FFT analysis.
  • Particular problems might generate very similar looking FFT spectra, but can generate waveforms which look very different and cause differing amplitudes of vibration.
  • This paper will also include information on how an analyst should properly specify the sampling period (tMAX) if he desires to detect problems such as bearing and gear problems.
  • This paper then covers what synchronous time averaging is, what hardware is required to perform this technique, and shows how synchronous time averaging can be used to determine where certain problems are originating (even if nearby machines or rolls are turning at nearly the same speed).
  • Finally, this paper concludes with a number of invaluable case histories illustrating how to effectively employ both time waveform analysis and synchronous time averaging to detect and resolve several real-world problems.
