What is Peakvue
If you think of a stone being dropped into a pool of water. The stone is
the initial impact generated by the fault. The effect of the stone being
dropped into the water cause a ripple on the surface of the water which,
spreads over a wide area.

Filters Options
Selecting the wrong type of filter will result in poor quality data
To much is filtered out (The stress wave is not allowed to pass through)
Each of the filters are designed to remove unwanted data out of the
signal at the appropriate levels
High Pass Filters remove all frequencies from the data below the filter
setting but allow the high frequency stress wave to pass through.
Looks for stress waves within a parameter defined by the filter setting.
Frequencies above and below this setting are removed from the data

E.g.
Typically the highest defect frequency to emit from this machine would
be?
1 - BPFI - Bearing Defect
Filter Selection
1232.3 Hz
We would then select the next available filter setting above the frequency
Available filters

20hz 150hz

50hz 300hz
2000hz
100hz 600hz
5000hz
500hz 1khz
10000hz
20000hz
From our previous calculation of 1232Hz, What filter setting would we select?
Note: the meter will only allow you to select the next
filter above the specified Fmax.
500hz Low speed machinery having <125hz. Bearing & gearing problems
1000hz Intermediate speed machinery (<2000 rpm) with gear mesh <300hz
10000hz High speed machinery with gear mesh up to 3000hz sensor must be
permanently mounted with a frequency response of 3db in the 30kHz or higher
range.
20000hz High speed machinery with gearmesh up to 6000hz. Sensor must be high
frequency and permanently mounted.
Consider:
Calculate what Filter setting would be required for both the motor
and the fan bearings?

Peakvue - Diagnostics
However there are a few differences which can be a bit confusing at first,
these are:
1. Do not try to locate 1xTurning Speed, as this is low frequency data and
will be filtered out.
Turning speed should be entered using the conventional spectral data.
2. Multiple harmonics are often present within a spectrum due to the way
peakvue samples the data.
These do not indicate Looseness
3. Spectral amplitudes are always low in amplitude but should not be used
to judge severity. Use the spectrum to diagnose the fault.
Peakvue - Diagnostics
Continued..
5. Ensure the same filter setting is used in both the spectrum and
waveform.
Potential faults can be missed or overlooked if different filters are used.
7. All low frequency faults are removed from the data and will not be seen
in a Peakvue spectrum and waveform
Imbalance, Misalignment, Looseness, Resonance - All Gone.

Peakvue Vs Demodulation
What is Demodulation?
Demodulation looks for the ringdown that follows an impact, and tries to
measure how quickly it fades. In order to do this the Time Waveform
has to be manipulated in such away that the waveform data becomes
useless
Less than 1ms
Initial Impact
Ringdown
Peakvue Vs Demodulation
Peakvue samples the data much quicker enabling it to catch the very
short duration high frequency stress wave. It then holds that Peak
Value throughout its parameter.

Case Study.
Equipment
A conveyor system consisting of six rolls is driven by a motor/gearbox unit (GMU).
The motor speed is 1500RPM reduced through the gearbox giving the roller
speed to be 98.5RPM
Peakvue Vs Demodulation
Data was collected on each bearing of the conveyor system
Due to the slow speeds Peakvue and Demodulation Filters were both set to
500Hz High Pass using 1600 Lines of Resolution

Acquiring Peakvue
Data
Setting up the 2120A
Creating a Peakvue AP Set
There are two ways of acquiring peakvue data within the 2120A
Define the Fmax you wish to go to. Remember the Fmax is going to
define your filter setting.
0 - 30 KCPM = 500Hz High Pass
30 - 60 KCPM = 1000Hz High Pass
60 - 120 KCPM = 2000Hz High Pass
120v - 300 KCPM = 5000Hz High Pass

Amplitude levels of the Waveform
quality of the data
Remember to store the data once the reading has been taken
This will need building in the database and adding to the route

PeakVue Data
The Peakvue reading shows distinct energy at 6.941 Hz and
multiple harmonics of this which is the running speed of the
third shaft. The bottom waveform shows clearly a substantial
impacting of up to 12 Gs occurring each revolution.
