Vibration Analysis

 Highest vibration occurs at Motor OB Axial side, over than DANGER level, while pump side is still belonged to
GOOD level
 Vibration spectrum shows 6975 CPM or 7x as dominant frequency.

RECOMMENDATION

Based on analysis, it is recommended to stop the pump and do following action:

• Motor Solo Run (MTN Electric)
• Bump test (PdM-Rotating)
• Check soft foot, alignment and Re-alignment if needed (MTN Rotating)
• Check End Play

1 May 10.00 GA-101D was turned off

1 May 10.30 – 11.00 Initial bump test (before coupling disconnected), results bad data
1 May 13.00 – 14.00 Disconnect coupling and alignment reading
1 May 14.30 Start Solo Run
1 May 14.50 – 15.10 While motor running, bump test was performed, then soft foot check by loosen
1 tie down bolt, check vibration and bump test
1 May 15.10 High motor bearing temperature DE side was found high, 108°C, all activity was
stopped waiting for further discussion
2 May 10.00 – 11.00 Re-solo run for 1 hour, bearing temperature IB side normal at 56°C
3 May End Play Check and Cold Alignment
8 May Hot Alignment and MRT

 Analysis
1. High Bearing Temperature when tie down bolt is loosened
Suspect: High bearing temperature is generated by motor shaft touch the sleeve bearing

Initial – all bolts tight

of a periodic impact Loosen tie down bolt No 3
suspected between

bearing Loosen tie down bolt No 2

Re-Solo run – all bolts tight

Bolt loosening → bearing centering changed → shaft and sleeve touching → high bearing temperature.

This phenomenon also proved that soft foot is low possibility to be occurred
(because soft foot will also generate high bearing temperature during normal running)
