Introduction
Some types of maintenance techniques:
Preventative maintenance: Performing scheduled and unscheduled tasks on an equipment for optimization and preventing failure.
Predictive maintenance: condition monitoring of an equipment in comparison to a preset standard or baseline.
Proactive maintenance

3. Examples of Predictive maintenance
Mech 1200
Examples of Predictive maintenance
Vibration analysis: Analysis of the oscillatory motion in a cyclic manner.
Oil Analysis: Investigation of the physical properties and presence of contaminants in oil samples.
Thermography: Analysis of the temperature of an equipment at different operating conditions.

4. 1. Vibration Analysis Resonance: magnification of vibration
Mech 1200
1. Vibration Analysis
Resonance: magnification of vibration
Resonance occurs when the frequency of oscillation matches the natural frequency of the object. Based on rigidity.
Critical speed: the speed at which the mechanical part resonates.
Cycle
Amplitude
Frequency: cycles per second
Phase: the position relative to a fixed point and time.
Velocity and Acceleration

6. Example 1: Vibration of two beams
If two vibrating cantilevered beams had the following waveforms, answer the questions that follow:

Displacement (inch)
2 –
1 –
0 –
-1 –
-2 –
| | | | | | | | |
Time (S)
What is the frequency of the blue waveform?
Solution: count the cycles between any 2 points where a transition from – to + occurs .
There is only one cycle between the two x marks, and the time is = 0.5 seconds
Thus, the frequency is 𝒇= 𝟏 𝒄𝒚𝒄𝒍𝒆 𝟎.𝟓 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒔 =𝟐 𝒄𝒚𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 =𝟐 𝑯𝒛
What is the frequency of the red waveform?
For this wave, the frequency is 𝒇= 𝟏 𝒄𝒚𝒄𝒍𝒆 𝟐 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒔 =𝟎.𝟓 𝒄𝒚𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 =𝟎.𝟓 𝑯𝒛

Lockout/Tagout Standard
In effect since 1989 in the United States
To control hazardous energy sources.
Lockout: placement of a device that locks out the energy-isolating device.
Tagout: placement of a tagout on the energy-isolating device.

Lecture 1, Mechanical Components and Electric Motors, by Khalid H. Tantawi, MSCC

10. Lockout Sequence Notify all affected employees.
Mech 1200
Lockout Sequence
Notify all affected employees.
Must identify the machine load/energy and any hazards associated with it.
Shut down properly.
Deactivate energy source.
Lock out energy source.
Dissipate any stored energy (ie capacitors).
Ensure equipment is disconnected and won’t operate.

11. Mech 1200
Lockout Requirements
Use a positive means to keep the energy-isolating device in the safe position.
The lockout device must be able to withstand the environment it is exposed to, such as excessive heat, radiation, freezing..etc.
The lockout and tagout devices must be standardized in the facility in size and/or color and/or shape.
The lockout device must be strong enough to prevent removal without excessive force.
Notification of employees before the application and after removal of the lockout/tagout.
Only the employee who applied it can remove it.

12. Tagout Requirements Must contain a clear warning. For example: Danger.
Mech 1200
Tagout Requirements
Must contain a clear warning. For example: Danger.
Must state clearly that moving the energy-isolating device from the safe mode is not allowed.
Must be placed in the place a lock device would be placed, or if not possible, as close as safely possible in a position obvious to anyone who attempts to operate the device.
Must be able to withstand the environment.
Must be standardized in the facility.
Must have a nonreusable type of attachment.
