My tenure with the Vibration Institute began August 2010, and the last two years have been the most rewarding of my professional association management career. Though our organizations charter and mission have remained steadfast, several changes during that timeframe now provide a better experience for certified vibration analysts and membersand ultimately put our mission into action.

cust o Me R-al Igned ad MIn Ist Rat IVe su PPo Rt

As an organization with over 2,300 certified vibration analysts and members worldwide, we wanted to be sure that our administrative support was aligned to effectively respond to the needs of all our stakeholders. Improvements include: Upgrading our administrative resources, including office technology, the computer network, financial software, and the phone system to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of daily business operationsand better serve members. Reorganizing staff functions to better align roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities for certification, training membership, finance, and administration. Working closely with board officers and the board of directors to increase transparency through ongoing communication, quarterly conference calls, and two annual face-to-face meetings. The board has worked diligently and effectively to review and develop new programs that are of value to you and will support the next generation of vibration analysts (see page 23)

Re VIta l IZIng ou R BRand

Since 1973, the Vibration Institutes mission has been the cornerstone for our growth and expansion. As a result, we have updated our look and interface with you to ensure that we remain vital to the profession we serve. Changes include launching the Institutes new website, www.vi-institute.org, in January 2012. It provides information in an intuitive and easy-to-use format in six verticals: About the Institute Membership Professional Development Certification Products and Services Chapters and Partners

The website also prominently features the annual Vibration Institute Training Conference and Online Store, two of the most widely used content areas of the site. The Members Only section, which will be available soon, will include a wealth of information and resources. Please stay tuned!

More changes to increase the value of your Institute membership: In March 2012, we redesigned our flagship publication, Vibrations. The purpose of the redesign was to bring the look and feel of the publication into alignment with the Institutes new branding and website. Additionally, the publishing of Vibrations was brought in-house in January 2012 and every 2012 issue will be available online. We will continue to include the same outstanding technical content that you have come to expect over the years under the guiding hand of Dr. Ronald Eshleman, but we are providing new features like these: Letters from the president and executive director throughout the year Sections about certification, training, and academic programs From the Archivestimeless papers relevant to the profession no matter how much time has passed since they were written (beginning with the September 2012 issue) New advertisersto gain the attention of the vibration community, contact the Institute at (630) 654-2254 We will also be researching our options to publish Vibrations in an optional electronic format in 2013, to better serve our members and the vibration analyst community, so stay tuned.

Further extending our reach globally: We enhanced communications and now provide regular updates and information to our international representatives. Since 2010, we have increased the number of international representatives to 27, representing a 26 percent increase, with new representatives in China, India, Indonesia, Italy, and Mexico. Reducing turnaround time for certification examination results by 10 days, to that certification examination information is available quickly to candidates.

co MIng soon

The demonstrated success of these changes further deepens our commitment and drive to continue to align with our mission and nurture the next generation of professionals. In the coming months, you will hear more about: A membership database that will allow us to capture and store information more efficiently and provide up-to-the-date information on certification, training, members, products, and services, plus a new online membership directory. An enhanced strategic plan, developed by the board of directors, that will position the Institute for growth and opportunities, and will seek like-minded organizations to partner on projects that will further enhance the profession.
e n s u r

add Ing Value fo R ou R Me MBe Rs

As a nearly 40-year-old organization, we feel there is an opportunity to examine how we can further strengthen the Institute and provide added value to all our stakeholders. Ideas were implementing include these: Revising the Corporate Sponsorship program to include three levels Platinum, Gold, and Silverand increase benefits and visibility through the new website. The number of corporate sponsors has increased from 40 in 2010 to 52 in 2012.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the commitment and hard work of so many, including our dedicated board of directors, committees, volunteers, and hardworking staff, all of whose candid and supportive feedback helped guide us. None of the changes throughout the past two years would have been possible without the hard work, dedication and involvement of manyand this is just the beginning. The best is yet to come.

Part II: Between-Bearing Pumps

By Malcolm Leader, P.E.

Rotordynamics of Pumps

art I of this article, published in the March 2012 issue of Vibrations, concentrated on the rotordynamics of single-stage overhung pumps. Part II concentrates on the rotordynamics of between-bearing pumps.

Between-Bea

Some applications place a single impeller between bearings, usually employing a double-suction single-discharge arrangement. These designs will deliver more volume this way. With the impeller between bearings, the gyroscopic moment of the impeller cannot increase the critical speed of the rotor as with overhung machines (see reference 4). Typical applications are cooling tower pumps and boiler feed pumps. Such was the case with several problematic high speed (4,900 rpm) boiler feed pumps in a power plant. These pumps had a large pressure differential and two large eye wear rings, one on each side of the impeller. A portion of the complete train model is shown in Figure 1. This finite element model featured a complete case model with measured support characteristics. The orange bars represent two bushings with a 375 psi pressure differential and two eye seals with an 850 psi pressure differential. This pump experienced high vibration and bearing failures. The calculations showed that each impeller eye seal was almost 500,000 lb/in while the plain journal bearings were only 350,000 lb/in each. The seals were supporting the rotor

and did not have sufficient damping to control vibration. The bushings outboard of each eye seal were also unloading the bearings. Since modifying the seals was not an option that this user wanted to explore, highly preloaded tilting pad bearings were retrofitted. These bearings were designed with offset pivots so that significant stiffness and damping would be applied to the rotor even if the bearings did not have a significant gravity load. Although these pumps continued to have unexplained vibration excursions, believed to be caused by thermal effects, they run very well now that the bearings are supporting the rotor as well as the seals. f igure 1. d ouble-s uction Between-Bearing Boiler f eed Pump

Take the previous example and add more stages and you get something like Figure 2. This is another boiler feed pump with a double-suction first stage and three additional single stage impellers. The water comes in, flows through the first and second stages, then crosses over to come back in the other side for the last two stages. This is done for hydraulic thrust balance. f igure 2. t ypical Multi-s tage Pump

This 1,800 hp pump has two plain bearings, two bushings, five eye seals and three hub seals. The seal pressure differential ranged from 40 psi to 160 psi and the speed was 3,585 rpm. As this was an audit of a new pump, a full API 610 analysis was conducted. This included an ANSYS model of the pump foundation conducted by Kelm Engineering. The bearing span is 70.562 inches. With all attachments except the coupling, the total wet rotor weight is calculated to be 617 pounds (7.9 pounds of water) and the coupling half-weight is 82 pounds. Because of the critical nature of the service, a full API 610, 10th Edition, Annex I analysis was required. The first required calculation is the first three dry critical speeds. In this case the first dry critical speed is below operating speed at 2,935 rpm and Figure 3 shows the mode shape. f igure 3. f irst c ritical s peed Mode s hape of Multis tage Pump

Next, the plain journal bearing coefficients supporting the rotor were calculated. This can be a challenge due to the hydraulic loads mentioned above. However, the specification designates that the static loading only be used. As it turns out, it makes virtually no difference in the end because the seals dominate the rotordynamic response in normal operation. Figures 4 and 5 are plots of the stiffness and damping values of the bearings versus rotor speed.

An ANSYS finite element model of the case was constructed from very detailed case and support base drawings by Kelm Engineering. Once the natural frequencies were determined, the dynamic stiffness in each direction (see Figure 6) was

JUNE 2012

Vibrations | 7

calculated at the centerline of each bearing by applying an alternating force at the center of the bearing and then viewing the dynamic response at the bearing where the load is applied. The applied force and the calculated response were then used to determine the dynamic stiffness as shown in this equation:

f igure 8. Predicted Maximum Vibration in Multi-s tage Pump

This method of calculating the dynamic stiffness is similar to the method used to measure dynamic stiffness using a field test where a point compliance method is employed by applying a force and measuring the response at the same location. Finally, the seal coefficients at all 10 locations were calculated. Instead of endless plots let it be said that the principal stiffness of these seals ranged from 20,000 to 50,000 lb/in at each location. The cross-coupled stiffness at each seal was about 200 to 1500 lb/in and the damping ranged from 3 to 30 lb-s/ in. Seal coefficients were determined at design clearance and twice design clearance to account for wear. Rather than a traditional stability analysis, the API requirement is to calculate damping factors for all potential eigenvalues up to twice operating speed. API publishes an acceptability range for these factors depending upon how close they are to operating speed. All calculated values must be in the acceptance area as shown in Figure 7. f igure 7. Multi-s tage Pump a cceptance c hart

imbalance. With twice design seal clearance the predicted vibration increased by about ten percent. The overall conclusion is that the seals control the rotordynamics of most centrifugal pumps and that dry operation would be a very bad thing. If the seals become excessively worn, problems could also occur. In one particular case, the author looked at a 10-stage deep well injection pump that was periodically used to flush a sand filter. Large amounts of abrasive sand would erode all the seals and bushings each flush, the critical speed would eventually drop into operating speed and the vibration would become high enough to trip the turbine driver. In these cases the clearances would typically be 10 to 20 times normal clearance. This problem was solved by designing and building a clean water injection system. The case was drilled and tapped at each seal and bushing location and high pressure clean water was injected whenever the sand filter flush was activated.

The unbalance response of this typical multistage pump is relatively uninteresting because all the seals wont allow a traditional critical speed to show up. The biggest concern is the operating speed amplitude at the tightest seal clearance location. This is done for design seal clearance and twice design clearance. Figure 8 is the predicted center-of-rotor relative shaft to stationary part vibration as a function of speed with 16W/N imbalance at the rotor center. Since the nominal radial clearance is 5 mils and the predicted peak-to-peak vibration at operating speed is 0.46 mils, there should be no danger of rubs even with this high level of

The Effect of Structural Asymmetry on the Vibration of Small Diameter Fan Rotors
Robert J. s ayer, Pe Applied Structural Dynamics

mpellers for many small to medium-sized commercial fan rotors are installed on the shaft using keys and set screws. Because of the lower service requirements of the these fans, the diameter of the shaft is relatively small. The proportion of material removed from the shaft when machining the key-way can be significant. In the case of a double-wide, double-inlet (DWDI) fan, the impeller is located near mid-span of the shaft, which is also the location of maximum flexural deformation. The key-way reduces the flexural stiffness of the shaft. The degree of stiffness depends on the orientation of the key. Figure 1 shows a cross section of a fan shaft with the keyway oriented at the top center position. The flexural stiffness is directly related to the moment-of-inertia, which is larger about the x-axis than the y-axis. When the shaft is rotated 90 degrees, as shown in Figure 2, the flexural stiffness increases about the x-axis and decreases about the y-axis. During operation, the fan is continually rotating about its centerline, resulting in an excursion in flexural stiffness twice per revolution. Since the key-way is concentrated at the impeller and does not extend the length of the shaft, this change in flexural stiffness is small. Gravity, a force that is constantly and statically applied to all objects on the Earth, is not a dynamic force. However, when gravity is applied to the fan rotor that has a rotating flexural stiffness, the magnitude of rotor deformation changes twice per revolution. Normally, the amount of this change in flexural deformation is extremely small since the change in stiffness is small. For most fans, it does not present a problem. It becomes an issue only when the natural frequency associated with the flexural mode of the fan rotor is close to twice the operating speed. Most small commercial DWDI fan rotors are designed to have the natural frequency of the flexural mode greater than the operating speed. If the natural frequency of the rotor coincides with twice operating speed, resonance will occur.

The amplified response of the rotor will usually result in noticeable vibration levels at 2X fan speed measured at the bearings. Although not common in SWSI fans, the effects of structural asymmetry can occur (see Case History 3 at the end of this article).

JUNE 2012

Vibrations | 11

The magnitude of the 2X vibration component varies depending upon the stiffness of the bearing support. It can be significantly larger than the vibration at rotating speed, especially for typically very flexible bearing support structures of many commercial fan units. The high 2X response in the frequency spectrum of vibration, without any other harmonics, is often misdiagnosed as misalignment. Disk-skew also presents many of the same symptoms as structural asymmetry. If the center plate of a fan is not perpendicular to the centerline of the shaft, the disk-skew can produce dynamic forces at twice the rotational speed of the shaft without any other significant harmonic multiples. One distinguishing indication of structural asymmetry instead is that the vibrations in the direction of gravity (vertical) are usually significantly larger than in the horizontal direction. An exception to this would be fans mounted on structural supporting conditions with strong cross-coupling of horizontal and vertical stiffness. One method of diagnosing structural asymmetry is to perform two impact tests of the fan shaft, one with the key-way in the top-center (12 oclock) location and another with the key-way in the horizontal (3 oclock) location. The natural frequency in one direction should be slightly different from the natural frequency in the other direction. Also, for DWDI fans, the natural frequency should be very close to twice rotational speed. Since problems associated with structural asymmetry involve resonant excitation of the rotor, corrective actions include removing the dynamic force or changing the natural frequency. The following case histories illustrate the diagnosis and correction of the problem. All of these fans were mounted on a vibration isolation base similar to the sketch in Figure 3. f igure 3. t ypical f an a rrangement on an Isolator Base

failures result in total loss of product. The shaft and bearings of this unit failed. The bearing race that was fixed to the shaft loosened allowing it to rotate independent of the shaft. The relative motion between the race and shaft machined the outer diameter of the shaft almost as if it were done in a lathe. The fan wheel had a diameter of 48 inches and weighed 470 pounds. It was mounted on a shaft with a diameter of 3 15/16 inches. The fan was belt-driven by a 100 hp motor. The operating speed of the fan was 1620 rpm (27 Hz). Figure 4 shows the results of an impact test performed with the key-way in the bottom-center (six oclock) position. The natural frequency of the rotor was 53.8 Hz. Figure 5 shows the results of an impact test performed with the shaft rotated 90 degrees so that the key-way is in the horizontal position. The natural frequency of the rotor increased to 54.5 Hz. Both natural frequencies are almost coincident with twice the operating speed of the fan. The bearing vibration at twice operating speed of the fan was 0.03 ips in the horizontal direction and 0.22 ips in the vertical direction. This verticalto-horizontal vibration ratio of nearly 3:1, together with the natural frequency results, supported a diagnosis of structural asymmetry as the probable root cause of the failure. f igure 4.

The corrective procedure used for this case was to remove the dynamic force. A new rotor was supplied that had a shaft without a key-way. The fan wheel was installed on the shaft using taper-lock hubs. Since the key-way was removed, so was the source of the dynamic force that excited the rotor resonance. f igure 7.

A new air handling unit that used a DWDI fan was installed for several paint booths at an automotive plant. Excessive vibration during commissioning led the end user to reject the unit. The fan wheel had a diameter of 80 inches and weighed nearly 850 pounds. It was mounted on a shaft with a diameter of 4 15/16 inches. The fan was belt-driven by a 200 hp motor. The fan operated with a variable frequency drive (VFD). Figure 6 shows the frequency spectrum of vibration data measured at the bearing in the vertical direction with a VFD setting of 80 percent. Vibration levels exceeded 1.2 ips! Although the fan speed was 409 rpm (6.8 Hz), almost the entire vibration was concentrated at twice fan speed (13.6 Hz). At full speed, the bearing vibration reduced to 0.40 ips, which was still considered unacceptable. Blanking out the operating range of the VFD from below 80 percent to full speed was not considered a viable solution to the problem. f igure 6. f requency s pectrum of Bearing Vibration (Vertical d irection)

case h Is to Ry 3

A roof-top air-handling unit at a food processing plant used a single-wide, single-inlet (SWSI) plenum fan. The fan wheel had a diameter of 54 inches and weighed 500 pounds. The diameter of the shaft was only 2 7/16 inches. The fan was beltdriven by a 25 hp motor and operated at 700 rpm (11.7 Hz). Frequency spectra of bearing vibration contained an elevated component at 2X operating speed in the vertical direction. Figure 8 shows the results of an impact test of the fan rotor that identified the natural frequency of the flexural mode at 19.5 Hz. In this case, the natural frequency did not equal the second harmonic multiple of fan speed. Unlike a DWDI fan rotor, the natural frequency of a SWSI fan rotor will increase during operation [1][2] because of centrifugal stress and gyroscopic effects. In this case, the natural frequency increased from the at-rest value of 19.5 Hz to almost 23.5 Hz, making it very sensitive to the dynamic force developed as a result of structural asymmetry. f igure 8. Impact t est Result (f an Rotor c ase 3)

1.26 ips @ 13.6 Hz

Figure 7 shows the results of an impact test that identified the natural frequency of the fan rotor at 13.75 Hz. At 80 percent of full speed, the natural frequency of the rotor matched the frequency of the dynamic forces developed as a result of asymmetry. The solution was to replace the rotor with one that had a shaft large enough not only to remove the natural frequency at 80 percent of full speed, but also to increase it beyond the excitation range of the 2X dynamic force at full speed.

The cyclic change in flexural stress, combined with the local stress concentration at the key-way, initiated a fatigue crack. The fatigue crack propagated until the shaft experienced a catastrophic failure, splitting into two pieces. The failed rotor penetrated the sidewalls of the air-handling unit and damaged the roofing that protected the food processing operation from the elements. The failure of the fan caused the shutdown of the process. The corrective action taken for this fan was to increase the natural frequency of the rotor by decreasing the mass of the fan wheel. The original fan wheel was constructed from carbon steel. The replacement fan wheel was constructed from aluminum.

Mechanical Looseness in a Fan System

By Robert Jonas Integrated Maintenance Technologies, Inc.

f igure 1. f an a rrangement

uring a routine monthly vibration survey of a fan for a dust collection system in the food processing industry, a large increase in overall energy was noted to be coming from the fans bearings. Figure 1 is a sketch of the equipment arrangement, with data acquisition positions identified as numbers 1 through 4. Positions 1 and 2 were located on the motor. Positions 3 and 4 were located at the drive-side and fanside ends of the fan, respectively. New bearings had recently been installed at positions 3 and 4.

The fan system consisted of an overhung single-wide, singleinlet fan, belt-driven by a 50 hp, 1770 rpm motor. The fan speed was around 1109 rpm. Figure 2 shows five spectra of data acquired between December 2008 and January 2010. The spectrum for data acquired in January 2010 showed multiple harmonics of the fans running speed that were not evident in the previous spectra. A slight knocking could be heard coming from the fans driveside bearing area (position 3). The bearing support frame and shroud were inspected for any indications of mechanical looseness. No relative motion was found between the mating surfaces. Next, the bearings and shaft were visually inspected with a strobe light. The strobe light revealed indications that

50 hp, 1770 / 1111 rpm

the drive-side bearings inner race was slightly loose and slowly rotating on the shaft. A time waveform analysis was conducted to help identify the problem and its severity. Figure 3 is the time waveform of the drive-side fan bearing vibration showing a once-per-revolution

In conclusion, an increase in the operating speed harmonics of the fan indicated possible mechanical looseness. The time waveform and a strobe light were the key tools in determining where the looseness was located. The modulation helped to support the diagnosis of looseness. Allowing this fan to run to failure would have resulted in a costly unscheduled shutdown. Robert Jonas, a Certified Vibration Analyst II, has worked for Integrated Maintenance Technologies, Inc., in Kalamazoo, MI, for the past 16 years. In his 20-plus years in the vibration field, he has served in several industries, including paper, plastics, and the food industry.

impact occurring every 0.0541 seconds, with a strong modulation at the drive-side bearing. Once-per-revolution impacting with a modulated signal is a very good indicator of mechanical looseness. Since the energy was the greatest at the fans drive-side bearing, it was then confirmed that the drive-side bearing was loose on the shaft. The fan was shut down to avoid damage of the new bearings. A new shaft was installed because the old one was found to be undersized at the drive-side bearing. Vibration readings were taken following the shaft replacement. Figure 4 shows spectra of vibration data acquired before and after the installation of the new shaft. A comparison of the spectra showed that the vibration at harmonic multiples of fan speed had improved significantly. The mechanical looseness problem had been corrected.

Vibration of a Polyester Chip Crystallizer from an Electrical Source

By c lyde Bridges Mitsubishi Polyester Film

f igure 1. f requency s pectrum of Motor Vibration

his case study involves the drive motor for a chip crystallizer that is proprietary process equipment used in the making of polyester film and chips. The drive train of the crystallizer consists of a 200 hp motor, gearbox, and rotor. An unusual noise was reported, as well as a noticeable vibration. High motor current was also indicated on the operator control panel.

The panel meter indicated current on only one leg of the threephase power going to the motor. The vibration was present on the entire drive train. When vibration data were collected, amplitudes obviously were higher than normal, and they were higher on the motor than anywhere else on the drive train. Figure 1 shows a frequency spectrum of vibration data acquired from the motor. The spectrum was dominated by vibration at exactly 120 Hz (2X electrical line frequency). The vibration data did not indicate any change from the trend other than a 700 percent increase in amplitude at 120 Hz. Vibration at 2X line frequency often indicates an uneven air gap between the rotor and stator. However, since noise was present and the increase in amplitude was so sudden and dramatic, it was decided to perform a thorough electrical check. The motor current on all three legs could not be safely checked without first shutting the motor down and restarting. As an alternative to the motor current test, the motor was shut down, the power supply was locked out, and a phase-to-phase resistance check of the motor windings was done from the motor starter. The resistance check indicated an open leg in the motor. Plans were made to replace the motor.

Before calling in a crane to lift out the motor, one of the technicians decided to double check the wiring from the motor starter to the motor. Further investigation revealed the open circuit was in a local 3-pole switch (lock-out device) located near the motor. Evidently the switch had failed while the motor was running and allowed the motor to continue running single-phase. The switch was replaced and the motor was restarted. f igure 2. f requency s pectra of Motor Vibration

Recertification Requirements
Certification as a Vibration Analyst is valid for five years from the date of current certification level. After five years, and in compliance with ISO 18436: Part I, certified Vibration Analysts are required to recertify. Re-certification at the current level of certification can be achieved in one of two ways: Renewal. You may provide evidence of continuing education experience, training and/or technical activity. Points for renewal can be earned for vibration-related activities including work experience, professional development, attending industry, association or chapter meetings, and vibration-related presentations and published articles. Re-examination. You may take the certification exam at the level you are currently certified. This requires scheduling an examination and securing a proctor per established Vibration Institute protocol. Vibration Analysts are certified on the basis of ability to function at a specified level. The motivation for recertification is to ensure that the Vibration Analyst maintains the capability to function at the level certified. Points toward recertification can be earned in various ways. The Vibration Institute Certification Committee has approved renewal requirements as follows: Category I: Category II: Category III: Category IV: 24 points (beginning January 2011) 28 points (beginning January 2011) 32 points (beginning January 2013) 36 points (beginning January 2014)

Figure 2 shows multiple spectra of motor vibration acquired before and during the electrical problem and after replacement of the local 3-pole switch. Vibration levels returned to normal. It is important to note that not all vibration is caused from mechanical problems, and the motor is not always the culprit when there is a so-called motor problem. Clyde Bridges, a licensed master electrician with 40 years of experience, has level 4 Vibration Institute certification and is also certified by the Municipal Association of South Carolina. Since 1994, he has worked as a machinery vibration analyst in the predictive maintenance department at Mitsubishi Polyester Film in Greer, S.C. He can be reached at clyde_bridges@bellsouth.net.

Establishing a Blueprint for the Future

By n ancy l . d enton, P.e .
The Vibration Institutes missionto disseminate information on the evaluation of machine behavior and conditionis only as strong as the knowledge and expertise that our members consistently contribute to our profession. And our mission is sustainable only if we continually attract new members. Recognizing our need to develop ties to our potential future colleagues, in October 2011 the Vibration Institutes board of directors approved funding for a national effort to encourage students to consider entering the condition monitoring and predictive maintenance industry. The generous support enables the Institute to further cultivate our relationship with the next generation of condition monitoring and vibration professionals. The response we received to the launch of this new program was outstanding. The 2012 program has been very successful, with eight papers, representing eight universities, accepted for presentation at the 2012 Conference and subsequent publication.

The academic track program will invite future industry professionals and the faculty who prepare them to present their vibration-related papers at the conference and their papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings. The program funding will heavily subsidize conference registration for the presenters. My academic committee colleague, Bob Sayer, and I quickly reached out to various universities with a Call for Papers, requesting abstracts by November 18. Interested candidates submitted draft papers by January 27 and final papers by April 13. Each manuscript submission was reviewed by at least two peer reviewers.

Some of us show up for our first conference when we are presenting our work, but for most of us, participation is the starting point on our professional growth journey. To that end, we set up our student sponsorships to benefit both authors and non-authors. With the help of key vibration and monitoring faculty, we identified eight students from four institutions. Their transportation, hotel, and conference registration costs are provided by the academic sponsorship program. By attending the conference, students will obtain valuable experience networking with other professionals, exchanging technical knowledge, and beginning their lifelong professional journey of sharing information and findings within the industry.
