    Scope Of Motor Testing


    It should be noted that the scope of motor testing depends upon the motor type and size, this being indicated on the inspection f orms. Motor vibration shall be measured in a tri-axial direction, i.e.: Point x axis side of bearing housing at shaf t height Point y axis top of bearing housing Point z axis axial of bearing housing at shaf t height T he measurements shall be carried out with an instrument conf orming to ISO 2954 (10-1000 Hz frequency range). With the motor at normal operating temperature, the vibration velocity shall not exceed 2.8 mm/s RMS, or 4 mm/s PEAK, in any direction. For bearings f itted with proximity probes, the unf iltered peak-to-peak value of vibration (including shaft run-out) at any load between no load and f ull load, shall not exceed the f ollowing values: 50 m f or two-pole motors

    60 m f or f our-pole motors 75 m f or six-pole or higher motors Bearing temperature rise limits following a heat run of 3.5 4 hours are as follows:

    Rolling bearings:
    Outer ring measurement max. 90 C Temperature rise f rom ambient max. 50 C

    Sleeve bearings:
    Oil temperature max. 90 C Bearing temperature rise by RT D max. 50 C Lub. oil temperature rise f rom ambient max. 30 C (for forced lub. oil systems).
    Mo to r b e aring (p ho to b y CCLW INTERNATIO NAL)

    When commissioning or re-commissioning motors, precautions shall be taken to avoid excessive vibration caused by the phenomenon known as soft foot; i.e. f eet which do not have solid f lat contact with the base prior to the tightening of the holding-down bolts. T his may be measured and rectif ied during installation or detected during running by the loosening of each holding-down bolt in turn while measuring motor vibration.

    Mot or Sof t Foot Condit ion


    Sof t f eet are those which do not have solid f lat contact with the base prior to the tightening of the holding-down bolts; one or more f eet may be sof t as shown in Figures 1 to 3. T he prof ile of the f oot contact area may be as shown in Figures 4 to 6.

    Figure 2 Machine resting on diagonal f ormed by f eet 3 and 4, f eet 1 and 4 are sof t Figure 3 - Bottoms of all 4 f eet are not parallel with base, f eet 3 and 4 are sof t

    NOTE: Remachining of rotor f eet is required in Figures 4 and 5; temporary use of wedgeshaped shims may be acceptable (maintenance). Advertisement
