2 Order Analysis This chapter gives brief descriptions of the need for order analysis, the basic concepts of order analysis, the effect of rotational speed on order identification, and the different order analysis methods. Order Analysis Definition and Application When it is impossible or undesirable to physically open up a system and study it, you often can gain knowledge about the system by measuring and analyzing signals associated with the system. For example, physicists and chemists us

Chapter 2 Order Analysis vibration signals. The frequency-domain representations of noise and vibration behave as harmonics of the machine rotational speed. In many industries, the harmonics related to the rotational speed are referred to as orders. The corresponding harmonic analysis is called order analysis. The harmonic at the same frequency as that of the rotational speed is the first order; the harmonic at twice the frequency of the rotational speed is the second order and so on. The

Chapter 2 Order Analysis Assuming that speed remains constant during data acquisition, you can use the following equations to switch between the frequency domain and the order domain. RPM Frequency = --- ---- ---- - - ×Order 60 60 ---- ---- --- - - Order = Frequency × RPM Orders often reflect the physical characteristics of rotating machines. As in classical harmonic analysis, by analyzing the phase and amplitude relationships between different orders, you often can discover a great deal ab

Chapter 2 Order Analysis Like classical harmonic analysis, order analysis is a powerful tool for gaining a better understanding of the condition of rotating machinery. However, compared to harmonic analysis, order analysis is more effective for the analysis of rotating machinery because you can use order analysis when a machine runs at a constant speed and when the rotational speed varies. As described in the Effect of Rotational Speed on Order Identification section, harmonic analysis is
