Vibration analysis of a VSD drive revealed high envelope levels and ball pass frequency harmonics, leading to bearing replacement and subsequent defect discovery.
Deep Grove Ball Bearing
Number of Bearing 6218
Machine : VSD drive 1500 RPM
210 KW
.........
During our vibration route we noted that the envelop level increased to 18 gE
after data was accusations the value of spectrum shows
Ball pass frequency outer race with theirs harmonics.
We selected to replace the bearing & after bearing dismantle the bearing we noted the defects.
