Part 3 condition monitoring 02 2004

At the beginning of the project there was a need to identify the rolls with loose or failed bolts A non-intrusive testing method was desired The test process developed: Use vibration data measured at the end of the roll to detect faulty bearings (This had been used in an aborted program) Monitor for changes in the natural frequency of the shaft-roll assembly to detect changes in the bolted joint stiffness, i.e., an indicator of loose or failed bolting Develop a rotor model to calculate the natural frequencies, mode shapes, rotor deflection and bearing loading Perform free-free and installed experimental modal testing of a shaftroll assembly Use bump testing to determine if this test could be used to identify defective shaft-roll bolted joints 35 At the beginning of the project there was a need to identify the rolls with loose or failed bolts A non-intrusive testing method was desired The test process developed: Measure roll run out using a contact slider block or shaft rider instrumented with a low frequency accelerometer Establish run out limits to indicate when to pull a roll 36 Although not considered the preferred method, access to the bearing housings was limited so a long stinger was used at the end of the rolls (This method had been used previously in a now aborted program.) 37 The data from the end of the roll could be used to identify the stage of bearing failure Ref TA Vibration Chart !
