 What is the Shock Pulse Method?

SPM - Shock Pulse Method

Wear, bad lubrication

► It is the PRÜFTECHNIK method for
level 1 roller bearing monitoring

► PRÜFTECHNIK owns the patent

on the Tandem-Piezo® sensor, which is designed
for vibration and shock pulse measurement

► With help of the sensor's resonance frequency at

around 36 kHz two values are generated:
dBm - discrete damages in the bearing (pitting)
dBc - information on rolling noise (lubrication)

► Trending of these two values delivers an easy

tool for monitoring the bearing condition
discrete damages
► Shock Pulse Method can be used as a
trigger (adaptive task) for in-depth (cage, races, balls)
analysis (e.g. envelope spectrum)

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 3

 A SPM trend in OMNITREND®

dBm
m = max
indicator for spike energy
(discrete damages)

dBc
c = carpet
indicator for rms energy
(wear, lubrication)

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 4

 Principle

discrete defects
cause a broad
frequency band

► The discrete defects (or the wear) cause a

broad frequency band

► The bearing starts to resonate at its

resonance frequency

► The bearing does not just have one sharp

resonance frequency but resonates in
several frequencies in the ultrasonic range

► The resonating bearing excites also the

sensor at its resonance frequency at
around 36kHz

► The peaks of the signal is used to generate

the dBm value

the bearing ► The rms value (energy) of the signal is

resonates used to calculate the dBc value

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 5

 Analogy: Defect - Bearing

► The impacts of the pittings/defects

act like a hammer hitting a bell (i.e. the bearing)

► The bell resonates at its

resonance frequency (bearing resonates)

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 6

 Analogy: Bearing - Sensor

► The tune of the bell (bearing) excites a tuning fork

(resonance frequency of the sensor)

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 7

 Analogy: Overview

Defects of the bearing excite the resonance The sensor's natural resonance frequency is excited
frequency of the bearing. by the "ringing" bearing. A signal is generated.

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 8

 Principle

► The resonating bearing excites the sensor

at its resonance frequency

► The Shock Pulse Method values are

generated and indicate the level of bearing
defects

sensor's resonance frequency

dBm

dBc

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 9

 Another analogy - dBc

Noise in the passenger cabin

► Imagine you are driving a car on a perfect street

► Low acoustic noise in the passenger cabin

► The worse the streets surface gets,

the louder is the noise

► A well lubricated bearing without wear

generates a very low rms value

► The dBc value is low

► The worse the lubricant (or wear) is,

the higher is the dBc value

a rising dBc trend

may indicate
lubrication or wear problems

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 10

 Another Analogy

Potholes on the street

► Imagine your car goes into a pothole

► Your hole car (and you as well) are

shocked

► Discrete defects within the bearing a rising dBm trend

excite the whole bearing may indicate
discrete bearing defects
► The more spiky the signal is, (inner/outer race, cage or balls)
the higher is the dBm value

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 11

 Magnetic holders and SPM

Some remarks on the

magnetic holders

► Shock pulse
measurement with
magnetic holder is not
recommended

► There maybe cases

where it works

► This is a physical
restriction

► However, you can do

envelope analysis
(acceleration)

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 16

 Normalization: Yes or No?

Why normalization → Comparison

► You do not necessarily need

normalization…

► The not normalized value is called

dBSV

► If you trend this value over some

measurements,
dBSV
the trend already indicates the
condition of your bearing… not normalized SPM value

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 17

 Normalization - dBn

non normalized value

dBn: Normalized value

► If you want to compare bearings

(for example on two machines
having the same bearings) dBn = dBSV + dBi + dBa
you need to do a normalization

► First, in the normalization, speed

and diameter (shaft) are taken into
account: dBi

► But also the transmission path of

the signal, the lubrication and load
can vary…
→ dBa

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 18

 Normalization

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 19

 Setting it up in OMNITREND®

No normalization

► Check the box dBsv in

the Shock Pulse Setup
window - that’s all…

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 20

 Setting it up in OMNITREND®

With normalization

► Uncheck the box dBsv

in the Shock Pulse
Setup window

► Type in the requested

parameter for speed
and shaft diameter

► Adjust the dBa value,

so that the carpet
value is at 5dB at a
good bearing (test
measurement
necessary)

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 21

 Normalization

Normalization

► Several identical
machines (bearing, rpm,
power, load)

► Look for a reference

machine and normalize
it. → dBc = 5 dB

► Use the same #1 Pump #2 Pump #3 Pump

normalization
► good/new ► same pump type ► same pump type
parameters on the other bearing as #1 pump as #1 pump
machines. You can
directly compare the ► normalize dBc ► use the same ► use the same
condition of the value normalization normalization
parameter parameter
bearings!
► use same dBa
value on the
monitoring of the
other pumps

 Apropos sensors

► The company SPM

developed the Shock
Pulse Method

► However, they have to

do it with two sensors

► Since PRÜFTECHNIK
invented the
Tandem-Piezo®
sensor, we should
quote everywhere,
where SPM wants to
do business…

► This way we have won

already a nice
VIBRONET®
SIGNALMASTER deal

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck 8/18/2018 28

 How to sell PT sensors
Sometimes we get questions like:
"Why should we sell
PRÜFTECHNIK sensors if others
are cheaper" ?
► Our high quality sensors are
developed and produced in
Germany and provide some
outstanding features
► Since most of our sensors are
current driven, the cable length is
not a problem
► Also, the signals are not as
sensitive to temperature changes
as standard ICP sensors are
PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH – Anton Irlbeck
► We can implement our sensors in
ATEX areas with very little effort.
We just need to put in our current
limiting device. (VIBRONET®
Signalmaster e.g.)
► And, maybe the most important
one, our sensors can perform
Shock pulse measurements (SPM)
for bearing conditions, so the
customer gets more functionality for
the price!
