2035/2075 PeakVue Mystery and Autocorrelation
Synopsis
This three-day course provides insight into advanced
functionality of Emersons patented PeakVue technology and
Autocorrelation. Machine vibrations generate both macro &
microscopic vibrations, and microscopic vibrations generate
stress waves that have frequency ranges determined by the
mass of the impacting object. The properties of these stress
waves will be explained.
The Autocorrelation section will teach the power of the
autocorrelation coef cient function for the analysis of vibration
induced time wave form data. The autocorrelation function
data are computed from the same time wave form data used
to compute the spectrum. The strengths of the autocorrelation
data are complementary to the strengths of the spectral data.
The course uses case studies from real-life examples of
common faults, and live demonstrations illustrating specifc
mounting procedures to reliably detect certain faults.
Diferences between PeakVue techniques and demodulation
will also be demonstrated.
Topics
Vibration theory and background
Proper PeakVue set-ups for all speeds (as low as 1 rpm)
Sensor selection and sensor mounting
Setting alarm levels
An updated list of courses is available at www.spartancontrols.com
Choosing trend parameters
Analyzing PeakVue spectra and waveforms
Uses of the circular waveform plot
Introduce the autocorrelation coef cient
Demonstrate the computation of the autocorrelation
coef cient data from the time wave form data
Highlight the strengths of the autocorrelation coef cient
function data relative to spectra data
Demonstrate the use of the autocorrelation coef cient data
as a diagnostic tool to support the spectra data for vibration
analysis through several case studies.
Identify unique patterns of the autocorrelation function data
for certain classes of bearing faults, gearing faults, etc.

2035/2075 PeakVue Mystery and Autocorrelation
Synopsis
This three-day course provides insight into advanced
functionality of Emersons patented PeakVue technology and
Autocorrelation. Machine vibrations generate both macro &
microscopic vibrations, and microscopic vibrations generate
stress waves that have frequency ranges determined by the
mass of the impacting object. The properties of these stress
waves will be explained.
The Autocorrelation section will teach the power of the
autocorrelation coef cient function for the analysis of vibration
induced time wave form data. The autocorrelation function
data are computed from the same time wave form data used
to compute the spectrum. The strengths of the autocorrelation
data are complementary to the strengths of the spectral data.
The course uses case studies from real-life examples of
common faults, and live demonstrations illustrating specifc
mounting procedures to reliably detect certain faults.
Diferences between PeakVue techniques and demodulation
will also be demonstrated.
