Presents, in a single source, a practical, "hands-on" approach to vibration analysis and measurement, field balancing and shaft alignment, and how to understand and solve typical vibration problems. It covers balancing, resonance, gears and bearings, structural vibration, isolation, alignment, instruments, diagnostics, and trending. Includes extensive coverage of the FFT spectrum analyzer as well as numerous "fixes" to help solve immediate vibration problems. Presents principles applicable to all mechanical equipment as well as many case histories covering various mechanical devices such as fans, common motors, and pumps.
From the basics to advanced techniques, this practical, how-to guide covers the full range of mass balancing methods in use today--including balancing with no instruments, the four-run method without phase, and other methods--in order to reduce production loss, maintenance costs, and expensive downtime resulting from machinery failure. Hundreds of illustrations, real-world case studies, and fully-worked examples demonstrate how to troubleshoot and solve any type of balancing problem on any piece of equipment.
Review
Ninety percent of all machine failures are signaled months, even years, in advance by changes in machine vibrations. Wowk shows how to use state-of-the-art instrumentation--transducers and fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectrum analyzers--to monitor machine conditions using the vibration "signature" of the machine. Includes a diagnostic chart for assessing the severity of vibration, and case histories that illustrate strategies for solving machinery problems.
