Workshop #2
8:00 am to 4:00 pm
Workshop 2
Bearing fault detection:
Three keys to great results
by Jason Tranter
Level: Beginner
or Intermediate
Directed at a technical level
The highest
priority for most vibration analysts is to detect bearing faults at the
earliest possible time, and to monitor the condition so that the repair can
be made at the optimal time. The only way to be successful is to understand
how bearings fail, understand how the vibration changes, and understand the
bearing detection technique used by your analyzer. This workshop will cover
these areas using a combination of case study data and the Mobius Institute
iTeachVibration software simulators and 3D animations.
We will begin by reviewing the
vibration characteristics observed and how they related to the four stages
of bearing failure:
1. We will discuss how vibration
changes as the health of the bearing degrades, including the vibration
patterns observed when the bearing has contaminated or inadequate
lubrication.
2. Then we discuss the “wave” of
vibration that moves from the high frequency region to the lowest
frequencies as the bearing condition degrades.
3. We will review the ‘definition’
of a Stage One, Two, Three, and Four bearing fault.
4. We will also explain the
characteristic vibration frequencies generated by rolling element bearings (BPFO,
BPFI, BS, and FT).
With that review complete, we will
start again from the Stage One and Stage Two fault conditions and discuss
the airborne ultrasound, shock pulse, PeakVue, spike energy, and enveloping
(demodulation) techniques. We will explain:
1. How each method works and the key
differences between them.
2. The importance of mounting the
accelerometer correctly.
3. The importance of the filter
settings (and other settings) offered in the analyzer.
4. How to use the spectrum and
waveform (derived with these methods) to detect bearing faults.
5. And we will review how these same
methods can be used to detect other fault conditions: gearbox faults,
looseness, and more.
Next we will cover the more
conventional acceleration and velocity spectrum and time waveform analysis
techniques, along with the Stage Three bearing fault condition. We will
review the characteristic fault frequencies, and explain why you see
harmonics and sidebands in the spectrum.
And finally we will look at the
Stage Four condition, and how the velocity spectrum will change, and how the
high frequency vibration will change.
Throughout the workshop we use the
Mobius Institute iTeachVibration simulators that make these potentially
complex concepts and procedures much easier to understand (and more
interesting to study). We will also view case studies, including live (raw)
vibration data from machines with bad bearings.
If you have an interest in fully
utilizing your vibration analyzer to get the earliest warning of lubrication
problems and bearing fault conditions, then this workshop will be ideal.
As a special bonus, you can
bring your notebook computer and use the Mobius Institute iTeachVibration
simulators during the workshop. The learning experience will be just as
effective as it is during our Mobius Institute vibration training classes
– you will
learn so much more (and enjoy yourself more) if you can use the bearing,
gearbox, looseness, resonance, airborne ultrasound and other simulators
during the workshop. You will need to download and install the software
before the workshop (instructions will be provided). Please note that you
will not be able to use the simulators after the workshop.

Workshop #3
8:00 am to 4:00 pm
Save
Energy - A 3 Part Workshop on becoming a Greener, Leaner Company
Level: Beginner
or Intermediate
Directed at a technical and managerial level
Part 1
Reliability,
Energy, and Environment Strategies and Tactics by Howard Penrose PhD
Reliability and
Maintenance (R&M) implementation can have a significant impact on energy and
environment within an industrial or manufacturing concern, and vice-versa.
In this presentation we will provide cases where R&M has impacted energy and
the environment and where energy studies have impacted R&M. In situations
where the company has a ‘green’ strategy this relationship can have a
significant impact on the application of R&M recommendations.
Attendees will
come away with information necessary to implement the concepts presented.
Part 2
Compressed air and Steam
Trap Audits using Airborne Ultrasound by Paul Klimuc
If energy
conservation isn't on your company's agenda it will be soon. High
energy prices are here to stay and only those companies who are
fully invested in conservation and reduction will be competitive for
the long haul. And its so easy to get started! In fact you may be
sitting atop an energy saving opportunity mountain and don't realize
it.
Look,
there are two kinds of energy used at your plant. Energy you need,
and energy you waste. Reducing the energy you use is difficult
because it means restructuring the way your company makes things.
But getting rid of energy you waste? Much easier to do. Shhhhh! No
one will even notice because it won't impact production one bit
(except make it more profitable and efficient).
Ultrasound Inspection is the fastest growing predictive maintenance
discipline available to us today. This technology got its start 30
years ago as a leak detector and was quite popular in European
countries where the price of electricity in those days was higher
than the prices we are paying today. A compressed air leak
management program is the single easiest way to reduce waste energy
at your facility. Frequent inspection of steam systems is another
easy way to identify sources of waste energy. Your rotating
equipment will consume fewer kilowatts if its well lubricated and
ultrasound inspection will help you there too. Your building
envelope, if not tight, will leak cool air conditioned air in the
summer and warm air in the summer. Ultrasound will show you where
your building envelope is compromised.
Join Paul
Klimuc for short course to teach you how to put ultrasound
inspection to work reducing sources of waste energy in your plant.

leak, steam leak, and lubrication management programs.
Part 3
How to Save Energy Dollars
Using "Green" Infrared Technology by John Snell
Infrared is well known as a
tool used for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. Less
well known are the many roles it can play in helping companies "go
green" by improving energy efficiency and reducing energy costs.
This presentation will discuss a number of these applications and
show examples of how this remarkable technology delivers great
returns on your investment.

Leveraging the “Visibility of your PdM Program” at the Corporate Level
by Carl Schultz, Business Reliability Strategist, Management Resources
Group, Inc.
Level: Beginner
or Intermediate
Directed at Managers or those who plan to Manage a program in the future
Reliability initiatives and successful
reliability implementations are of great interest to Predictive Maintenance
industries. Whether you are involved in the actual data acquisition or in
managing the program, the intent of this presentation is to give you some
ideas and methods by which you may be able to capitalize on the visible
benefits of your PdM program.
Predictive Maintenance may act or
become a change agent within your organization. So how do you, as a
predictive maintenance professional, instill interest and excitement in your
program as you take it to the next level, the corporate level? It is here
that true “buy-in” of your Reliability initiatives will happen to your
organization, from the top down and a truly reliable operation of your
facility becomes possible. We will explore the data and methods compiled by
a multi-decade experienced PdM practitioner.
