Item B-1: Tachometer

BENTLY: 72750-03-03-01-00-01-00001 (Mod. No. 15349-01)
DYMAC: M710-00-001-001-0000
A digital tachometer shall be installed on all variable speed drivers (turbines, etc.).
Tachometers are not normally required for electric motor-driven machine trains.
The tachometer should be installed adjacent to the power supply module on a
Bently system, or adjacent to the keyed switch panel on a Dymac system. The
Bently tachometer requires only one rack position, however the Dymac tachometer
requires two rack positions.
The tachometer models recommended above are basic models capable of
displaying up to 15,000 RPM. The input is supplied by a standard eddy probe and
oscillator/demodulator, sensing a once-per-event marker (i.e., a notch) in the
machine shaft (i.e., keyphasor). These models do not include any alert or danger
functions. A zero to -10 VDC output proportional to the indicated speed is avail-
able on the terminal strip behind the monitor rack.
Note A keyphasor transducer is required for each separate shaft speed in a
machinery train. For example, a motor driving a compressor through a speed-
increasing gearbox requires a minimum of two keyphasor transducers.
Monitor systems that interface with computers normally require a four to 20 mA
output. If this is your application, specify the following model numbers:
• BENTLY: 72750-03-03-13-00-01-00001 (Mod. No. 15349-01)
• DYMAC: M710-00-001-002-0000

Note Manufacturers occasionally change part numbers. However, cross

reference documentation will be maintained by the manufacturers.

Item B-2: Axial Position Monitor

BENTLY: 72350-03-04-05-05-01-01
DYMAC: M707-00-001-001-0000
Dual voting logic axial position monitors should be installed on all critical
machines that have babbitted-type thrust bearings and are normally capable of
developing an unbalanced thrust condition (i.e., turbines, blowers, compressors,
etc.). This type of monitor is not normally required for electric motors. Double
helical gears, on which gear mesh frequency is not continuously monitored (or
those driven by electric motors) should also be considered for this type of monitor.
The models recommended above use dual voting logic and have a meter range of
-40 to +40 mils. The two input signals come from standard, 200mv/mil eddy probe
transducers. They each have zero to -10 VDC recorder outputs proportional to the
meters, located on the terminal strip behind the monitor rack. Alert and danger
relays are latching-type, with a 1.0 second time delay. The above model numbers
specify a positive meter indication when the rotor movement is away from the two
probes. If your application is other than this, change the model numbers per the
following table:
BENTLY DYMAC

output. If this is your application, specify the following model numbers:
• BENTLY: 72350-03-04-05-05-01-13
• DYMAC: M707-00-001-002-0000

Item B-3: Standard X-Y Displacement Monitor

BENTLY: 72850-01-04-01-05-XX-00-01-01 (Mod. No. 150865-01)
DYMAC: M702-00-001-301-0300
A standard X-Y displacement vibration monitor is employed at each babbitted-type
radial bearing of turbines, compressors, and blowers. One of these is also required
at each coupling side bearing of gearboxes in a critical machine train. In other
words, all of the machine types mentioned above require a total of two of these
monitors. This monitor is not intended for electric motors. (See Item B-7: Special
X-Y Displacement Monitor.)
The model numbers listed above are dual voting logic X-Y displacement monitors
with a meter range of zero-to-five mils, peak-to-peak. The two input signals come
from standard, 200 mv/mil eddy probe transducers. The two monitored signals
each have zero to -10 VDC recorder outputs proportional to the meter, located on
the terminal strip behind the monitor rack. Alert and danger relays are latching-
type, with a 1.0 second time delay.
Any machine with a maximum continuous speed less than 6000 RPM and bearing
clearances ≥ 9.0 mils should be equipped with monitors that have a meter scale of
zero-to-ten mils. If this is your application, specify the following model numbers:
• BENTLY: 72850-03-04-01-05-XX-00-01-01 (Mod. No. 150865-01)
• DYMAC: M702-04-001-301-0300
Monitor systems that interface with computers normally require a four to 20 mA
output. If this is your application, specify the following model numbers:

Zero-to-Five Mils:
• BENTLY: 72850-01-04-01-05-XX-00-01-13 (Mod. No. 150865-01)

Item B-4: Temperature Monitor

BENTLY: 72973-72-11-01-02-01-02-01
DYMAC: M716-06-J11-101-0000
The model numbers shown above are for a six-channel temperature monitor, which
will accommodate the type J thermocouples in the thrust bearings of up to three
turbomachines (e.g., turbine driving two centrifugal compressors). Temperature
monitors should be installed at the extreme end of the monitor rack, either adjacent
to the tachometer, or at the far right-hand side of the monitor rack. The six-channel
temperature monitors require two rack positions.
If your application requires temperature monitoring of only one thrust bearing, refer
to item B-4-1, which is a two-channel monitor. Such an application would be an
electric motor driving a centrifugal compressor through a gearbox. In this case,
only the thrust bearing temperature of the compressor would be monitored.
The digital monitor displays up to 300°F and employs dual voting logic between
channels one and two, three and four, and five and six. However, the monitor
danger (shutdown) is wired to the auxiliary relay, as our policy is to alarm only on
temperature. The monitor also has zero to -10 VDC recorder outputs (proportional
to 0°F to 300°F) located on the terminal strip behind the monitor rack.
Thrust pad babbitt temperature is an excellent indicator of axial load being applied
to the bearing, and can actually give warning of impending oil film breakdown and
consequent babbitt failure. However, the rate of change in temperature is too slow
to prevent contact of rotating-to-stationary components during sudden thrust failure
due to overloading, surges, etc. Recommended settings for thrust bearing babbitt
temperature alarm is 220°F, and 250°F for danger (shutdown).
Monitor systems that interface with computers normally require a 4 to 20 mA
output. If this is your application, specify the following model numbers:
• BENTLY: 72973-72-11-01-02-01-02-15
• DYMAC: M716-06-J11-102-0000

DYMAC: M720-06-J11-401-0000
Refer to item B-4 (six-channel temperature monitor) before specifying the model
numbers above. This model is used on machine trains that require thrust bearing
temperature monitoring of only one machine in the train. All of the technical
aspects of the model numbers above are identical to the six channel monitor
described in item B-4.
Monitor systems that interface with computers normally require a four to 20 mA
output. If this is your application, specify the following model numbers:

Item B-5: X-Y Velocity Monitor

BENTLY: 48297-08-XX-XX-11-00-08-00-08-00-05-01-01 (Mod. No. 154755-01)
DYMAC: M702-B0-611-301-0300
The X-Y velocity monitor is used to complement eddy probes in monitoring low
frequency events on critical gearboxes. These events include conditions such as
unbalance, resonance, misalignment, and looseness. Velocity is required due to the
torque - imposed preloading of the bearings, which suppresses relative shaft vibra-
tion (i.e., the shafts are not as free to respond as are turbines and compressors).
The model numbers given above describe a dual voting logic, unfiltered, RMS
velocity monitor with a meter range of zero-to-one inch/second. The advantage of
RMS detection rather than zero-to-peak is that RMS will typically increase when
machine condition deteriorates, (e.g., the appearance of a new frequency component)
however, the overall peak measurement may not. The reason for this is that a peak
measurement is more susceptible to error caused by phase summation than is RMS.
The two input signals come from accelerometers mounted on the input and output
shaft bearing housings. With the Dymac system, the acceleration signal is inte-
grated to velocity by field-mounted converters, then sent to the monitor. The
Bently monitor accepts the acceleration signal from the field and does the integra-
tion process within the monitor itself. The two monitored signals each have zero to
-10 VDC recorder outputs proportional to the meter, located on the terminal strip
behind the monitor rack. Alert and danger relays are latching-type, with a 1.0
second time delay.
Monitor systems that interface with computers normally require a four to 20 mA
output. If this is your application, specify the following model numbers:
• BENTLY: 48297-08-XX-XX-11-00-08-00-08-00-05-01-13 (Mod. No. 154755-01)
• DYMAC: M702-B0-611-302-0300

Item B-6: X-Y Acceleration Monitor

BENTLY: 48297-XX-XX-XX-11-XX-XX-XX-XX-00-05-01-01 (Mod. No. 154756-01)
DYMAC: M724-A0-512-401-XXXX
The X-Y acceleration monitor is used to monitor the gear mesh frequency on crit-
ical gearboxes. Changes in the amplitudes at the gear mesh frequencies are usually
the first indicator of problems in a gearbox. Axial preloading of the gears, misalign-
ment of the gears due to babbitt loss in a bearing or warpage of the case, etc., will
cause significant increases in vibration at the gear mesh frequency. At the same
time, vibration at the lower frequencies may change only slightly, if at all. Normal
load changes during startups, surges of driven compressors, or shutdowns, etc., will
also cause amplitude fluctuations at the gear mesh frequency. However, these will
be short term and will stabilize when load conditions return to normal. For these
reasons, our present policy is to alarm only on acceleration. We do not use accelera-
tion to automatically shutdown the machine.
It should be noted that gear mesh amplitudes will normally be higher in the axial
direction on a helical gear. Therefore, when the permanently installed, horizontally-
mounted accelerometers reveal an increase in amplitude, analysis with axially-
mounted (stud mount) accelerometers will normally provide better signal defini-
tion. The permanently installed accelerometers are mounted horizontally to
provide protection in the velocity mode.
The model numbers listed above describe a dual voting logic, RMS acceleration
monitor, with a maximum meter range of zero-to-ten G's. (The Dymac model is
switch-selectable for full scale values of 1, 3, 10, or 30 G's). The two input signals
come from accelerometers mounted on the input and output shaft bearing hous-
ings. The monitor includes bandpass filters centered around the gear mesh
frequency. Generally, the filters should encompass a bandwidth of three to six
times the rotational frequency of the high speed pinion on each side of the gear
mesh frequency.

Example:
• Low-Speed Shaft RPM = 4670; number of gear teeth = 114
• High-Speed Shaft RPM = 10438; number of gear teeth = 51
• Gear Mesh Frequency (CPM) = 10438 × 51 = 532338 (8872 HZ)

Note Manufacturers occasionally change part numbers. However, cross

reference documentation will be maintained by the manufacturers.

Item B-6: X-Y Acceleration Monitor (continued)

Minimum Bandwidth Calculation:
532338 - (3 × 10438) = 501024;
532338 + (3 × 10438) = 563652
Minimum Bandwidth (CPM) = 501024 to 563652 (8300 HZ to 9400 HZ)

Maximum Bandwidth Calculation:

532338 - (6 × 10438) = 469710;
532338 + (6 × 10438) = 594966
Maximum Bandwidth (CPM) = 469710 to 594966 (7800 HZ to 9900 HZ)
There is nothing “magic” about deciding on the proper bandwidth. Going too low
in frequency may allow unwanted resonances (commonly called “intermediate
frequencies”) to be passed; Going too high in frequency may result in amplification
of amplitudes due to the mounted resonant frequency of the accelerometer. The
underlined digits of the monitor model numbers are where the filter ranges are spec-
ified. After calculating your required bandpass (as in the above example), consult
your local sales representative for designation of the correct digits.
The monitored signals each have zero to -10 VDC recorder outputs proportional to
the meter, located on the terminal strip behind the monitor rack. Alert and danger
relays are latching-type, with a 1.0 second time delay.
Monitor systems that interface with computers normally require a four to 20 mA
output. If this is your application, specify the following model numbers:
• BENTLY: 48297-XX-XX-XX-11-XX-XX-XX-XX-00-05-01-13
(Mod. No. 154756-01)

Item B-7: Special X-Y Displacement Monitor

BENTLY: 72850-01-04-01-05-XX-00-00-01 (Mod. No. 154757-01)
DYMAC: M702-00-001-301-0307
The special X-Y displacement vibration monitor is employed at each babbitted
bearing of large, critical electric motors. The typical mechanical failure of a large
motor is due to excessive babbitt wiping, which allows the rotor to contact the
stator bore. Normally, very little (if any) change in vibration amplitude will occur
during this babbitt loss due to the large mass of the rotor. Therefore, monitoring
amplitudes alone will not normally save motors from catastrophic failure.
The Dymac model number listed above describes monitors that are identical to
those described in item B-3 (Standard X-Y Displacement Monitor) with the addi-
tion of a gap voltage monitoring feature. This feature allows the monitors to alert
and shutdown when both gap voltages meet the preset levels, preventing the rotor
from contacting the stator. The alert and shutdown gap voltage levels are set by
adjusting internal potentiometers. (NOTE: The Bently version does not provide an
alert [i.e., a “yellow light”] on the gap circuitry. Therefore, the machine will shut
down [red light] without prior warning if both gap voltages exceed the preset
levels. For this reason, the Bently version IS NOT RECOMMENDED).
It is important to note that these monitors are designed to monitor increasing gap
voltage, which assumes both probes are installed in the upper bearing cap. Further,
any “not OK” condition allows the system to vote one time for shutdown. I.e., if
probe number 5Y gives a circuit fault and alarm, a circuit fault on 6X will cause the
machine to shut down. Since the probes are normally installed 45 degrees off TDC,
and the heavy motor rotor will move almost straight downward when the bearing
wipes, the probe's gap voltages will only indicate 70% of the true shaft movement.
This must be considered when setting alert and shutdown setpoints on gap voltage.
Monitor systems that interface with computers normally require a 4 to 20 mA
output. If this is your application, specify the following model numbers:

Zero-to-Five Mils (Bearing Clearances < 9 Mils)

• BENTLY: 72850-01-04-01-05-XX-00-00-13 (Mod. No. 154757-01)

Item B-8: Power Supply

BENTLY: 72050-01-05
DYMAC: M704-007-0102
The above model numbers are for standard power supply modules that require a
primary power source of 110 VAC, nominal voltage. They have single keyphasor
outputs, for most of our major machine trains consist of one shaft speed. Further,
since motor-driven machines do not normally require a tachometer, no other
keyphasor output is available at the monitor rack. If your application is a motor-
driven, two-speed machine train (i.e., includes a gearbox), specify two keyphasor
outputs as follows:
• BENTLY: 72050-01-XX (Mod. No. 154376-01)
• DYMAC: M704-017-0100
The Bently power supply also includes a key-lock switch for shutdown bypass to
enable maintenance of the system, etc. The Dymac model number specifies a
power supply that is compatible with the same type of switch (see Item B-9),
however the switch occupies one rack position in the Dymac system.
The primary power source for these power supplies should be on the emergency
power circuit for the control room.

Note Manufacturers occasionally change part numbers. However, cross

reference documentation will be maintained by the manufacturers.

Item B-9: Keyed Switch Panel

BENTLY: NOT REQUIRED
DYMAC: M25-44
The keyed switch panel takes up one rack position in the Dymac system (adjacent
to the power supply). It has two locks, one for shutdown bypass, and the other for
the 3X multiplier, requiring a key to activate either. The shutdown bypass is neces-
sary when performing maintenance on the system, etc. The 3X multiplier, as the
name implies, multiplies the alarm and shutdown setpoints by a factor of three, and
is a standard feature of the Dymac power supply/control module. This feature
should only be used in very unusual circumstances, and even then, only by qualified
personnel. Therefore, the lock on the keyed switch panel will prevent the inad-
vertent activation of this feature.
The Bently power supply specified in Item B-8 does not have a 3X multiplier, and
the key-lock switch for shutdown bypass is included with the power supply.

Note Manufacturers occasionally change part numbers. However, cross

reference documentation will be maintained by the manufacturers.

Item B-10: Monitor Rack

BENTLY: 72020-XX (Specify relay modules as described below)
DYMAC: M700-XX-001-000-0005
The above model numbers specify standard monitor racks to house the modules
described in Item B-1 through B-9. The “XX” in these numbers are for specifying
the required number of rack positions. For example, if specifying a Bently, 10-posi-
tion rack, you would replace the “XX” with “05”, or one-half of the required posi-
tions. (I.e., “03” is a 6-position rack, “04” is an 8-position rack, etc.). With the
Dymac system, simply replace the “XX” with the number of positions required.
(I.e., “08” for an 8-position rack, “10” for a 10-position rack, etc.).
With the exception of the six-channel temperature monitor, (Item B-4), all monitor
modules within the rack can be placed in any position. The six-channel tempera-
ture monitors require two rack positions, and the vendors must be informed in
advance where this module will be located within the rack. This should be noted in
the “remarks” section of the API 670 data sheet. Additionally, the rack position for
the temperature monitor should be specified with the Dymac system. For example,
model number “M700-XX-001-000-0405” specifies that the six-channel tempera-
ture monitor occupy positions four and five within the rack.
The Dymac rack has five relays (per API 670, paragraph 3.3.5) as a standard, which
is sufficient for our needs. However, relays must be specified with the Bently
system in all cases, as follows:
1. System with axial position and displacement vibration only - specify one each,
model number 72130-03 dual relay module for axial position and vibration
alert and shutdown.
2. System with axial position, displacement vibration, and temperature - specify
two each, model number 72130-03 dual relay modules. (One for the axial posi-
tion and vibration alert and shutdown. On the other, one of the dual relays is
used to alert on temperature).
3. System with axial position, displacement vibration, velocity vibration, accelera-
tion vibration, and temperature - specify three each, model Number 72130-03
dual relay modules. (Same as item 2 above, plus one relay for acceleration
alert).
Note If two keyphasor outputs are required (see Item B-8) Mod. No. 153852-01
must be specified along with the Bently rack number above.

Note Manufacturers occasionally change part numbers. However, cross

reference documentation will be maintained by the manufacturers.

The above probe model numbers specify a chemical-resistant, 5mm tip diameter
eddy probe, with a fully threaded body length of approximately 1.2 inches. The
probe has ¼-28 UNF threads, and has a 1.0 meter cable length protected by stain-
less steel armor. Stainless steel connectors are standard on all Dymac probe trans-
ducers, but must be specified on Bently transducers.
Note When installing internal probes in a limited space, the stainless steel armor
on the probe lead may not be desired. If this is your application, specify the
following probe numbers:
• BENTLY: 28418-00-12-10-02 (SPECIFY SS CONNECTORS)
• DYMAC: M65-002-00-12-10
The extension cable that connects the probe with the oscillator/demodulator has a
4.0 meter length. The cable does not have an armor jacket.
The oscillator/demodulators specified above have an output of 200 mv/mil when
connected with the probe and cable.

Item B-12: Accelerometer Transducers

DYMAC: 31039600-15
3. Acceleration Interface Module/converter:
BENTLY: 24145-02 Interface Module
DYMAC: M608-2-12-22 Converter
Accelerometer transducers are necessary to adequately protect critical gearboxes.
An accelerometer should be mounted horizontally on each input and each output
shaft bearing housing below the housing centerlines (total of two). The mounting
surface must be machined flat and finished to within 16 microinches RMS. Addi-
tionally, the drilled and tapped hole for the mounting stud must be perpendicular to
the mounting surface to prevent distortion of the accelerometer when it is torqued
to approximately three or four feet/pounds. The high-frequency accelerometers
specified above are adequate for monitoring the gear mesh frequencies of any of
our high-speed critical gears.
The acceleration interface modules/converters are used to supply the input signals to
the X-Y velocity monitor (Item B-5) and the X-Y acceleration monitor (Item B-6).
The acceleration signals are input to the interface modules/converters through
15 foot cables, where the signal is buffered, then output to the acceleration monitor
at 100 mv/G. The Bently interface module also sends a 100 mv/G acceleration
signal to the X-Y velocity monitor, which has a built-in integrator circuit. The
Dymac converter sends a 100 mv/G acceleration signal to the X-Y acceleration
monitor and a 100 mv/in/sec velocity signal to the X-Y velocity monitor. (Integra-
tion is done in the converter).
