High frequency accelerometers capable of capturing rotor mesh and bearing faults
Rotary screw compressors, both oil-free and oil-flooded, can provide a unique set of challenges to the predictive maintenance professional. Accelerometers used in these applications must be capable of detecting vibration through a very wide frequency band allowing the user to pickup faults such as pitting in the race of the bearings, oil injection issues or rotor mesh. Mounting is generally recommended on the casing of the compressor as close to the radial bearings as possible. A comprehensive predictive maintenance program that includes monitoring vibration on typically critical rotary screw compressors can improve downtime and increase efficiency with maintenance scheduled in advance of catastrophic failure.
