Machine Severity
Refer to ISO 10816-3; this machine is classified in the machine group 2; flexible foundation, the machine severity is
“Inadmissible” (> 7.1 mm/srms as the above data) condition.
Analyze for
The vibration high at 3A and 4A and they are much more than the other points as called “Directional Vibration”. Main
source of these vibrations are only the synchronous speed of the fan speed 17.5 Hz (1050 rpm) as the spectrum
attached figure 1. This is the effect of “Resonance” on the machine.
In order to confirm the Resonance Phenomenon, we have performed “Bump Test” on the machine to find out the
resonant part and found that the Natural frequency of the Pedestal is 15.25 Hz as the spectrum attachment figure 2. This
Natural frequency is close up the main source at 3A and 4A. The excitation force at 17.5 Hz is higher than the Natural
frequency at 15.25 only 2.25 Hz or 14.75 % of the Natural frequency. So the “Bump Test” result is confirmed that this is
the “Resonance Phenomenon”
Recommendation
Due to the vibration severity for this blower is in “Inadmissible”, it is recommended to solve this vibration problem.
The solution of this vibration high could be done in many methods as the following.
1) The first recommendation is solving at the excitation frequency of the fan. Recommend to speed up the fan to
be 1200 rpm or slightly more than if this modification is not effect to the production process.
2) If the first recommendation could not be done, recommend to trial add the axial direction stiffness of the
pedestal. The pedestal ribs are recommended to be added. After the stiffness adding, please confirm the new
natural frequency by Bump Test again. This vibration problem will be solved if the new natural frequency is shift
up to more than 22.75 Hz.
3) If the second recommendation is not work, adding mass to the pedestal is recommended to be done. How ever,
in this solution method could be done by adjust the adding mass and try to test run till the system vibration go
down. This method will shift the natural frequency of the pedestal down as the figure 3 as attachment.
The other solutions may be adding “Dynamics absorber” or get rid off the excitation for 1x is not recommended because
it is not effectiveness to solve this problem.
