Abstract

See full text

An apparatus is described that determines an estimated rotational speed of a rotating component of a machine in the absence of a reliable tachometer signal to indicate an actual rotational speed. The apparatus includes a processor that determines a range of rotational speeds for the machine based on historical data, generates a vibration spectrum based on measured digital vibration data, identifies vibration peaks in the spectrum, determines a maximum peak amplitude of the vibration peaks, determines candidate frequency values within the range of rotational speeds, for multiple harmonics identifies a nearest peak within a spectral peak frequency tolerance of each harmonic, determines an error value based on a difference between the candidate frequency value and the nearest peak frequency value, determines an error sum value for each candidate frequency value, which is an iterative sum of the error values determined for the harmonics, determines the estimated rotational speed of the machine based on the candidate frequency value having a largest error sum value, and analyzes the digital vibration data using the estimated rotational speed of the machine to determine an operational characteristic of the machine.
