Vibrational analysis of rotating machinery is able to identify a large number of system ills. Shaft bow, shaft unbalance and coupling misalignments make up the major portion of the observed vibrational frequency spectra of rotating machinery. These vibrational spectra can be used to determine the type of rotating system abnormality, the degree of misalignment and the rate of alignment degradation. The proper joining of rotating machinery is a critical issue with high power and a high speed equipments. Couplings used to join machinery have a broad spectrum of characteristics and specific purposes. Couplings are used to compensate for axial, lateral and angular misalignments. In addition, couplings may exhibit constant or non-constant input versus output speed relationships. The importance of mating a driving and driven piece of equipment with the properly designed coupling is paramount. In the following report the author discusses numerous types of couplings, the behavioral characteristics of couplings and the considerations which must be taken into account when selecting a coupling for a rotating system. The analysis which follows list the various alignment discrepancies which can be detected by vibrational analysis and the requirements for non-constant and constant velocity characteristics of couplings. In addition, numerous types of couplings are catalogued and discussed. Theses. (FR).

A theoretical and practical understanding of unbalance and misalignment in rotating equipment is presented here. These two conditions account for the vast majority of problems with rotating equipment encountered in the real world.;Numerous examples and solutions are included to assist in understanding the various concepts. Included is information on vibration and how it is used to determine the operational integrity of rotating machinery. Also detailed are the relationships between various vibration characteristics which provide an understanding of the forces generated within operating machinery when conditions of unbalance and misalignment are present. Resonance and beat frequencies are detailed along with sources and cures.;Also covered are proper inspection procedures, single plane and dual plane methods of balancing rotating equipment, the three circle method of balancing slow speed fans, advanced rim and face method of precision alignment, and the reverse indicator method of alignment plus much more to fortify the learning experience.

Rotating machinery is used in a variety of essential engineering systems, including motors, pumps, compressors, and gearboxes. The gas, oil, power, manufacturing, and process industries rely heavily on rotating machines. Their failures can be very expensive and lead to a decrease in production so proper maintenance is essential. Condition based maintenance is a relatively new strategy of performing maintenance on equipment when signal processing of sensor signals indicates a failure may be imminent. The most popular sensors for condition based maintenance measure the vibration of the rotating machine. These sensors provide information about the overall state of the machine and point to potential faults. This thesis studies the effectiveness of analyzing vibration data to determine the state of operation of rotating machine systems. Specifically, research and experiments are performed to discover if vibration signatures can determine if a system has certain faults, such as shaft misalignment, unbalance, or deformation in shaft couplings. The presence or absence of these faults can lead to the determination of the health of operation of a rotating machine system.

Bearings are widely used in rotating machines. Understanding the factors affecting their reliability and service life is essential in ensuring good machine design and performance. Solving tribology problems in rotating machines reviews these factors and their implications for improved machine performance. The first two chapters review ways of assessing the performance and reliability of rolling-element bearings. The author then goes on to discuss key performance problems and the factors affecting bearing reliability. There are chapters on cage and roller slip, and particular types of failure in equipment such as alternators, condensers and pumps. The author also reviews the effects of such factors as localised electrical currents, seating, clearance, grades of lubricant, axial forces, vibration on performance and service life. The book concludes by reviewing ways of improving bearing design. Solving tribology problems in rotating machines is an essential reference for engineers involved in the design and operation of rotating machines in such sectors as power generation, electrical and automotive engineering.
