Cutting Through the Complexity of Machinery Analysis
Traditionally, vibration data has not been routed to the control room because it required specialized training and tools to extract any information from the data.
Emerson's PeakVue technology cuts through the complexity of machinery analysis to provide a simple, reliable indication of equipment health via a single trend. PeakVue filters out traditional vibration signals to focus on impacting, a much better indicator of overall asset health on any type of rolling element bearing machine.
And now, with the introduction of PeakVue Plus, users will find it even easier to take advantage of this technology. Watch the videos below to learn more.
Zero Principle
Uses a simple Rule of 10 scale, with a good machine operating at close to zero
Earliest Indication
Distress signals from impacting are visible before other vibration measurements
East to Interpret
Requires no special training to quickly determine machinery health
How It Works
Baseline of a Good Bearing
Let’s look at a typical process pump running between 900 and 4,000 RPM as it passes through the four stages of bearing failure. Starting with the baseline condition for a good bearing, we see a significant amount of overall vibration. However, it is important to note that the PeakVue value is at zero. This is because a good machine, properly installed and well lubricated, should not be impacting. Therefore we can state the Zero Principle – PeakVue on a good machine should be at or close to zero.
