Blower
Hi res blower inbd vert Note the sideband modulation. Caused by load or driver?
Bearing defects on blower? Very close to BPFO for 6314 bearing.
Modulation of 4.5 Hz (.225 sec. approx.)

Review of observations Blower has audible beat Looseness in motor and blower High 1x TS from imbalance/misalignment Modulation on blower and motor Is it load/process related or driver (motor) related?
Motor closer look… Audible beat and sidebands may be related to rotor problems. Slip is .44 Hz, sidebands on motor at .88 = # of poles * slip = .44 * 2 MCSA will be performed next week.
