3. FOUR MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES
On-Failure (B/D)
Fix it when it fails
Fixed Time
Maintain based
Upon calendar
or running time
Condition Based
Maintain based upon
known condition
Design Out
Design out cause of
failure
Maintenance
Plan
• Applicable to plant that exhibits wear out -
but must be used in conjunction with other
strategies
• Only effective if correctly implemented
4. CONDITION BASED MAINTENANCE
(CBM)
• Advantages
Allows shutdown before severe
damage occurs
Allows run to failure
Production can be modified to
extend unit life
Cause of failure can be analysed
5. • Advantages
Permits maintenance to be planned
Labour to be organised
Spares to be assembled
Modifications can be planned
CONDITION BASED MAINTENANCE
(CBM)
6. What is Condition Monitoring?
CM depends on the trending of parameters
which are indicators of the condition of key
equipment failure modes

Key Points An effective Maintenance Plan depends on the targeted use of the appropriate strategy for each significant failure mode. Notes

Notes
Key Points Spike Energy/HFD : The bearing damage signal is measured in units of acceleration and band pass filtered between 5-20KHz. The output gives a number indicative of bearing condition. High Frequency Velocity : higher frequency peaks typically between 2-5KHz arising from the bearing damage signal exciting the resonance of the transducer. Overall Acceleration : Similar to High Frequency Velocity but can confuse with gear noise or cavitation Envelope Analysis : The complex signal from a bearing is conditioned and then enveloped to filter out unwanted vibration data. The resultant spectrum gives a clear indication of bearing repetition frequencies and problems Shock Pulse : The impacts caused by bearing damage produce shock pulses. These pulses are detected using a transducer which is tuned to resonate at 32 KHz. Analysis of Peak and ‘Carpet’ levels gives good indication of bearing condition and lubrication state. Kurtosis : This is a statistical method based on comparison of the fourth power of the vibration signal averaged and the square of the signal averaged. Not in widespread use.
Notes
Notes
Key Points Effects of Particle Size : As wear progresses, the average particle size tends also to increase, from less than 10 microns to over 1000 microns. This means that techniques such as SOA are good at detecting early wear, but can give deceptive results as the wear progresses, and the average particle size becomes too large to be detected by this technique. This is where simple techniques such as basic wear debris measurement can be very effective. Notes
