he rotors in rotating machines are supported through anti-friction

ball or roller bearings in many cases. Fault in such bearings always

develop during machine operation and their early detection is
important so that remedial and maintenance action can be taken to
not only maintain plant safety, production and reduce maintenance
overhead, but also to avoid any catastrophic failure.

The probability of the anti-friction bearings failure is generally high

in machines and vibration-based condition monitoring (VCM) is a
well-known technique and an accepted practice for detecting
problems. Commonly used vibration-based techniques for the
detection of fault in anti-friction bearings are the crest factor,
kurtosis, shock-pulse and the envelope analysis of the vibration
acceleration response measured on the bearing housing. There are
a number of modern instruments commercially available to meet
these requirements.

table 1. The IRD General Machinery Vibration Severity Chart is an improvement on

a pass/fail criteria such as that used by the chiller manufacturer because it
provides a graduated scale of machine condition. The tolerances in the chart are
for frequencies between 1.6 and 1667 hertz and apply to most rotating machinery.

Figure 3. The relative acceptance criteria was generated specifically for the 1,250-
ton chiller by averaging spectra from 12 identical chillers. The average (bottom
spectrum in blue) and average plus one standard deviation (top spectrum in red)
criteria shown are for the radial axis. The IRD Severity Chart criteria are
superimposed for comparison. (contoh spektrum pada getaran bearing)
