Beta Machinery Analysis
Vibration = periodic motion about an equilibrium Number of cycles per unit of time
position CPM = cycles per minute
Vibration can be described with:
Hz = cycles per second (cps)
Amplitude and
RPM = rotations per minute
Frequency (number of cycles per
time) or
Spring-Mass For simplicity, frequency is measured in Hz
System
Period (time to complete one cycle) Convert from CPM or RPM to Hz by dividing
Period Frequency
by 60

5. Torsional Vibration
Risk of Failure
at some
pressures and
speeds
Solutions
Vibrations are high for multiple operating Moving acoustic natural frequencies
conditions Control flexibility
Suspect pulsations are high Gussets, bracing, shimming
High vibrations away from compressor Modified or additional clamping
Need help measuring or interpreting data Moving mechanical natural frequencies
