Workscope : Landing Gear (Under Carriage) Grinding Machine

Summary : In general the grinding machine vibration is deemed unacceptable.

There were few locations that were found to be bearing outer raceway
defects and as such, we would recommend a follow up service for the
motor using Motor Current Analysis (MCA) to evaluate the possibility of
rotor bar cracked within the motor mechanism.

Tribology can also be introduced as part of a start up Predictive


Maintenance program for the grinding machine.

1.0 Introduction
LSP Consultant Pte Ltd was engaged by Jebsen & Jessen Technology (S)
Pte Ltd to perform landing gear grinding machine vibration measurement and
analysis.

The work was performed on the 30th January 2008, and was witnessed by Mr
Jouson Quek and Mr Richard Cheong, Field Engineer of Jebsen &Jessen Pte
Ltd

2.0 Instrumentation
The following instrumentation were used to perform the vibration
measurement :-
• Vibration Machinery Analyzer s/n 2680D
• Vibration Transducer ICP Accelerometer 500mV/g

3.0 Measurement Procedures


Based on the type of equipment and the configuration of the machine, the most
appropriate measurement set up was utilized.

The vibration and current database was setup in the PC-Analysis Software.
Vibration measurements were taken on all the bearings (that were accessible) in
the three directions (horizontal, vertical, and axial).

The accelerometer, which was connected to the vibration analyzer, was placed
as close to the bearing plane as possible. A flat magnet was used as the
preferred accelerometer mounting technique for most of the measurement points,
but in case of non magnetic surfaces an extension rod was used.

The vibration measurement unit selected was velocity mm/sec RMS.


Measurement units in G-s were selected whenever high frequency peaks of
interest were observed.

Machine condition

Based on the vibration data collected the machines compared against zones in
ISO 10816-1 vibration standards. The zones are mentioned below:

Zone A: The vibrations of newly commissioned machines would normally fall


within this zone.

Zone B: Machines with vibration within this zone are normally considered
acceptable for unrestricted long term operation.

Zone C: Machines with vibration within this zone are normally considered
unsatisfactory for long term continuous operation. Generally, this
machine may be operated for limited period in this operation until a
suitable opportunity arises for remedial action.

Zone D: Vibration values within this zone are normally considered to be of


sufficient severity to cause damage to the machine.

CLASS
Class I: Individual parts of engines and machines integrally connected to the complete
machine in its normal operating condition. (Production electrical motor of up
to 15kW is typical example of machines in this category).
Class II: Medium sized machines (typically electrical motors with 15kW to 75 kW
output) without special foundations, rigidly mounted engines or machines (up
to 300kW) on special foundations.
Class III: Large prime movers and other large machines with rotating masses mounted
on rigid and heavy foundation which are relatively stiff in direction of
measurement.
Class IV: Large prime movers and other large machines with rotating masses mounted
on foundations which are relatively soft in the direction on vibration
measurement (for example, turbo generator sets and gas turbine with output
greater than 10 MW.

Please note that ISO 10816-1 does not cover measurement data in acceleration, G-s unit.
Currently, there is no commonly used international standard for acceleration G-s
measurement of the bearing housing. As a guideline, default setup as recommended by
analyzer manufacturer (Computational System Incorporated, USA) is being used.

It is important to have both velocity and acceleration values for evaluation. Machines that
have a problem do not necessarily show high vibration reading on both velocity and
acceleration (G-s). Depending on the type of the problem, the machine can have a high
velocity reading and a low acceleration or vice versa. A problem such as unbalance and
misalignment more often will result in high velocity readings but relatively low acceleration
values.

Other types of problem such as bearing defects or looseness could produce low velocity
readings but high acceleration values, or both may be high. Acceleration readings are more
sensitive to the high frequency vibration that are usually produced by an impacting event
such as race defect on the bearing, looseness or gearbox problem.

The procedure adopted for analysis is as follows :-

1. Classify the machine based on the KW rating and size to Class I, II, III or IV
2. Compare the overall vibration velocity readings with the ISO10816 limits applicable for
that class of machine.
3. Carry out analysis based on peakvue data.
4. Analyze the spectrums and waveforms and identify the major defect frequencies and
faults in the machine.
5. Recommend suitable corrective action.

Therefore, it is possible that machine within zone A, B or C of ISO-10816 guidelines is


recommended to be inspected or re-conditioned.

Another guideline from Technical Associates of Charlotte Inc, which based its criteria on the
machine type is also used for assessment as shown on the table below.

5.0 Results
5.1 Vibration
The overall vibration amplitude is measured in velocity units, mm/sec rms and
plot against a frequency domain, presented in Hertz (Hz). The overall
amplitudes, 1x Grinder Speed and G (1-20KHz) definition refer to the vibration
amplitude with respect to the fundamental running speed of the motor and
grinder, typically associated with symptoms of unbalance energy should level
exceed ISO acceptable limits. However the HFD/VHFD measurements define
the bearings stipulation assessment based on the software database library and
bearings’ manufacturers standard compliance. These measurements were
surveyed at “No Load “condition for the comparative and qualification
assessments only. The results are tabulated as follows :-

Table 2a: Vibration amplitude based on mathematical calculation


Report No. SI-08010025 Page 12 of 42

Comments:

Equipment conditions generally deemed unacceptable for restricted long term operation and
improvement required. Overall maximum amplitudes of 4.96 mm/sec rms at Motor Inboard
Axial direction. The Dominant peaks emerge 1X of grinder speed at 9.61 Hz with maximum
vibration amplitude of 2.61 mm/sec rms and 1x of motor speed at 24.16Hz with maximum
amplitude of 3.21 mm/sec rms. The possible fault would be Mechanical runout between
motor and grinder belt pulley sheave associated with unbalance forces occurring at the
motor mechanism. Appears to be 2X of motor speed at 48.33Hz which indicating the
possible fault of misalignment within motor and grinder pulley sheave mechanism, see
Spectrum 1.

The displacement measurements taken at these conditions were deemed acceptable


criterion. Conversely the overall amplitudes indicate “improvement required” due to the facts
that individual peaks emerge at lowest 20um/sec and maximum 2610 um/sec, see Table 2a.

Bearings’ conditions deemed marginal and “requires close attention” probable caused by
bearing outer raceway defects see Spectrum 2 to 3.

Recommendations:

a) Carry out Motor Current Analysis

b) Carry out advance vibration analysis with actual process in order to capture Frequency
Response Function (FRF), Impact test and Advance Rotating Machine Diagnostic
(ARMD) software

c) Replace of Motor and Grinders’ bearing DE & NDE

d) Carry out mechanical runout and alignment check on the Motor and Grinder pulley
sheave arrangement. The tolerance shall be 0.05mm

e) Replacement of belting. Carry out in-situ balancing

f) Trend every monthly on the motor and grinder bearing characteristics

Comments:

Equipment conditions (Motor tested solo run) generally deemed acceptable for
unrestricted long term operation. Overall amplitude of 1.786 mm/sec rms, see
Spectrum 9 to 10.

Motor Current Analysis need to be measure at its’ actual operational state. The
purpose to detect the condition of Rotor bar, slot and Stator mechanism.

Bearings’ conditions deemed acceptable see Spectrum 11 to 13.

Recommendations:

a) Trend further

b) Carry out Motor Current Analysis

c) Perform Tribology every quarterly to quantify particle and ferrous wear

6. Discussion
Mechanical Observation

The vibration signature for Grinder Machine Condition 1 at “No Load”


seemed to be unacceptable as compared to that of Grinder Condition 4 at
“Load”, despite of the ‘beating’ phenomenon detected by the physical sense.
It can be concluded that the vibration for Grinder Machine Condition 1 at “No
Load” to be restricted for long term operation, so long as the vibration
signature of the bearings are consistently monitored to detect for signs of
deterioration, if any.

Vibration condition for Grinder Machine Condition 1 at “No Load” was


unacceptable at time of survey. Symptoms of dynamic unbalance condition
of the motor/ rotor with combinations of misalignment in between pulley
sheaves were evident throughout the machine train.

Electrical Observation

Exploratory spectra 1, 4 & 9 of Grinder Machine Condition 1, 2, 3 we did not


observe the line frequency of the motor at the Yellow Phase to have
fluctuated between 49.98Hz to 50.02Hz. It could not be confirmed the period
of frequency oscillation, but noteworthy would be the real-time waveform
captured on Grinder Machine Condition 1 with evidence of ‘rarefraction’ of
the waveform.

7. Conclusion & Recommendation

The following recommendations are necessary in order to maintain the


production quality of the new equipment prior to installation:

♦ Carry out Motor Current Analysis. Due to the fact of the majority of all motor
failures are caused by a combination of various stresses acting upon the
winding, rotor, bearings and shaft. If these stresses are kept within the design
capabilities of the system, premature failure should not occur. However, if any
combination of them exceeds the design capacity, then the life may be
drastically diminished and a catastrophic failure could occur. An electrical or
mechanical fault is always preceded by deterioration of one of the
mechanical, electrical, magnetic or insulation components of the motor. If that
deterioration takes a significant period of time and can be detected by
measurement then that detection may be a valuable means of monitoring the
machine. The heart of condition monitoring is to derive methods to measure,
as directly as possible, parameters which indicate that deterioration and
provide sufficient warning of impending failure in order that the machine may
be shut down for repair

♦ Carry out advance vibration analysis with actual process in order to capture
Frequency Response Function (FRF), Impact test and Advance Rotating
Machine Diagnostic (ARMD) software. Quantifying the possible catastrophic
failure inveterate; in addition to conform to the operation requirements and
standards
Report No. SI-08010025 Page 39 of 42

♦ Replace of Motor and Grinders’ bearing DE & NDE. Vibration Spectral Data
Measuring the Spectral data can detect the presence of these defect
frequencies. Not only the primary defect frequencies of interest when the
diagnosing bearing failures, but also the harmonics of the frequencies.
Maximum frequency during the data collection should be high enough to
capture these higher bearing frequencies. It is the detection of the higher
frequency harmonics of the BPFI and the BPFO defect frequency that often
appear during the first failure stages of bearing failure. Initial detection of
these defect frequencies that will allow an analyst to track the bearing defect.
Vibration Time Waveform: The Time Waveform data is useful for detecting
rolling element bearing defects. The amplitude pattern of the Waveform
assists the analyst in confirming the presence of some bearing defects. The
Time Waveform will show an impact and ring down pattern as the rolling
elements pass a defect site. Vibration Amplitude: Although vibration amplitude
is helpful in determining the defect severity, the pattern of frequencies
presence in the spectral data is often more indicative of progressive bearing
damage changes in the spectral amplitude alone. Amplitude alone cannot
always be used to correctly identify bearing ready for replacement is till true

♦ Carry out mechanical runout and alignment check on the Motor and Grinder
pulley sheave arrangement. The tolerance shall be 0.05mm. To find the
cause of the vibration in this case, the first step might be to check and correct
any alignment problems. If the alignment is okay, check the sole plate or base
for obvious indications of problems like cracked concrete or broken welds. Dirt
or product may cover these, so always check for sole plate movement with a
dial indicator mounted on a beam and supported independently from the
motor foundation. To do this, determine the direction of machine rotation and
set up the dial indicator to read the lifting movement of the sole plate during
starting. The force exerted on the sole plate by an electric motor during
acceleration is in the opposite direction of that acting on the rotor and
considerably higher than during normal operation. For example, a NEMA
Design B motor exerts 200 percent of rated torque at 80 percent of rated
speed
Report No. SI-08010025 Page 40 of 42

Zero the indicator with the motor shut down; then watch the indicator during
starting. A solid foundation prevents movement. So if the sole plate lifts even a
few thousandths of an inch, then it means trouble. Once a sole plate starts to
separate from the underlying foundation, the force exerted during each
successive start continues to peel it away. The decreasing bond area provides
less and less resistance to the torsional forces, so the rate of separation
increases

♦ Replacement of belting. Carry out in-situ balancing. Fatigue Failure : Notice


the name of this failure mode, Fatigue Failure. Every bearing will eventually
succumb to fatigue of its materials. Even if the bearing was well maintained,
it will eventually fail. Fatigue failure is more commonly known as spalling as
shown on the following pages. Every vibration analyst at one time or another
has seen spalling, or will in the future. This condition is caused by the cyclic
stresses placed on the metals of the races and the rolling elements. The
damage actually begins in the inner structure of the component and will slowly
progress to the surface. When this occurs, the material begins to flake off,
creating the spalled areas. Once the spalled areas have surfaced, the
vibration and noise levels will increase due to the rough surface of the
defective component. This type of defect may effect the races, inner and
outer, as well as the rolling elements. Once the defect has surfaced, the
vibration levels will increase due to the rough surfaces. Fatigue failure will
occur at the end of a bearing life. The fatigue of the bearing material is the
only thing that can not be compensated for in the manufacturing.
Report No. SI-08010025 Page 41 of 42

However, there are many ways to achieve "early" fatigue failure in the
bearing. One such way is to overload the bearing. If the radial and/or axial
load is greater than the designed capacity for the bearing, then this will lead to
premature failure. This type of overloading is quite obvious to everyone, but
there are other means of overloading a bearing. Another way of overloading a
bearing is if the internal clearance is not sufficient. As mentioned previously,
the manufacturers have designed a certain amount of clearance in the
bearing. The reason for this is that when the bearing is utilised in a designed
application and the bearing has been installed properly, then the internal
clearances between the rollers and the races will be satisfactory.

If the bearing seat or the bearing housing is not within tolerance, or the shaft
is oversized or the housing undersized, then a "pinching" condition will exist.
This will cause unnecessary load on the bearing creating an overloaded
condition. The suggested solutions to the above problems are fairly straight
forward. If the fatigue failure is a result of the bearing reaching the end of its
life expectancy, then the only solution is to replace the bearing. If the failure
is premature and is caused by overloading, then there are several routes that
may be taken to find the correct solution.

One suggestion is to verify the bearing that is being used actually is designed
for that type of application. If not, then use an appropriate bearing. If the
bearing being used is designed for the application, then having the machine
redesigned so that a bearing with a larger load capacity can be utilised may
be the solution. In this situation, there are many different ways of supporting
the load, as discussed in the first section. The use of a maximum capacity
bearing could help eliminate the overloading condition, but this is
recommended only if the overload is in the radial direction. Keep in mind that
the maximum capacity bearing by design will limit the amount of axial load
that it can support. If the load can be varied, then reducing the amount of load
on a bearing will help attain longer life.
Report No. SI-08010025 Page 42 of 42

Speed and load are vital to the life expectancy of a bearing, but load has a
greater effect than speed. Check the bearing housing to ensure that it is
concentric. The housing should be checked in several different locations and
depths. If the housing is out-of-round, then the outer race will conform to this
shape, and will cause the "pinching" of the rollers that was discussed earlier.
Another problem that may be encountered and have the same effect as an
out-of-round housing, is having a shaft that is oversized. This causes the
inner ring to expand and again "pinch" the rollers between the races. In this
case, the shaft could be machined to the proper size or a bearing with a
looser fit may be utilised

♦ Trend every monthly on the motor and grinder bearing characteristics. From
forces originating within the bearing (e.g. those due to impending bearing
failure), or from forces applied to the bearing from external effects.

Ignoring the first of these causes, for the moment, cyclical external forces can
be applied to the bearing in a number of ways, such as due to misalignment,
improper bearing installation, rotor imbalance, pump cavitation, flow induced
vibration etc. It is clear, therefore, that increases in vibration due to these
externally imposed forces can significantly reduce bearing life
