The Silent Killer of Rotating Machinery – Softfoot with Daus Studenberg It is my pleasure to welcome Daus Studenberg to the podcast, the product manager, a national product manager of the alignment with Lu DACA. In this episode we covered:  How many ways can we? What is soft foot? If we’re going to perform a proper installation, we got to consider soft foot. Is that before or after we do an alignment?   How many ways can we? It can go from installation to operations, to how it’s used, the duration, many ways that that can happen with that. What I’d like to focus on is an underappreciated one. We focus on misalignment. I am a firm believer that 50% machinery has been failed due to misalignment. I often see in specifications, misalignment, the coupling and so on, but soft foot is what I think is the silent killer of our machines.   What is soft foot? Soft foot basically is a machine frame distortion. It's when you install a piece of machinery and you bolt it down onto a base, a foundation, whatever happens to be it’s the unintentional twisting of it.   If we’re going to perform a proper installation, we got to consider soft foot. Is that before or after we do an alignment? You need check out lock and tag outs, safety, clean the base, and inspect your foundation. You then need to do a rough, soft foot rough alignment, because you don’t want to start out 200 thousand out and try to force the shafts into it. Throw a coaster, sugar packet, napkin, etc. Then you do an initial alignment within 10 or 15 thousands that gets rid of the coupling streak. And then you do a final soft foot. After that, you do your final alignment to go with that.   Do we need have to have a nice flat machine base to begin with? The first thing is realignment check. You’re going to check to see if there’s any cracks or voids in the foundation. You need to have a very solid foundation. If it isn't flat and completely machined well, you’re going to have an easier alignment. Then fill in the obvious gaps with your shims. If they’re all, even with that, then you can go move on/   What is pipe strain?  What I give in my training classes on alignment is identifying what comes first, aligning the pipes to the machine or the machine to the pipes. Pipe stresses a as is something that needs to be addressed. If you try to unbolt a pump to try to move it, you’re going to be fighting a pipe at the same time.   What is bolt binding? It is basically when you’re trying to move a motor or any type of machine if it’s specifically in the horizontal direction, and you cannot get enough movement to go to it that you are bound onto the bolt. You’re hitting right up against the bolt. The way you get out of that ideally is that you can make an optimized move where you can possibly move the stationary, the least amount possible to do that. You should not have bolt bound in a new installation.   You mentioned crinkled shrimps, should we be using new shrimps every time? Yes, absolutely. They're not that expensive considering what could be the overtime involved in the installation and the hassle. No more than three to five, per foot. You don’t want to be throwing in your own soft foot essentially, as you start adding in shrimps.   How does that factor into all of this that we’re doing here? If we have a condition where we must worry about thermal growth, the process is still the same. We’re still addressing soft foot early on. We’re still doing the rough alignment. We’re just offsetting the final alignment by whatever that specification is.   What’s the one thing you want our listeners to take away from the silent killer of rotating equipment? Follow the procedures we have talked about.

297 - The Silent Killer of Rotating Machinery - Softfoot with Daus Studenberg

Thermal Growth with Daus Studenberg When a machine heats up and starts expanding in all the directions is simply called the thermal growth. When it actually comes to understanding it, it means that you are dealing with machinery movement and that can cause misalignment in the machine. Also, your alignment is only as good as your target. If your machine starts moving and you have a bearable misalignment in the off-set condition, you will allow that bear minimum of misalignment in your machine deliberately in that condition. So, before you detect thermal growth, you need to have a correct target in place to measure it against. In this episode, we focus on the following points:  What is thermal growth? What are the standards of thermal growth measurement? What packages are available that come with laser alignment tools?  And much more!  When two machines are running in parallel with each other and one machine starts moving in the operating condition, it will cause misalignment between them. In those conditions, you might have shaft misalignment machines are not aligned at the coupling point in those operating conditions. Operating conditions are very important and you need to know what's happing with your machines. Only then, you will be able to measure your targets, set them right, and make templates out of those. Once you have correct targets in place, you can measure thermal growth against them and always document your findings for future references. When you start with thermal growth measurement, there are different standards out there. You can always check vendor's operating manuals or bring in the consultants for their expert opinion to get going but you need to have proper understanding of what is going on with your machines to incorporate correctly into your business processes. There are many different aspects that you need to look at when you are measuring thermal growth but common causes include piping, off-set gearboxes, and shaft misalignment. There's technology out there that helps you calculate things while live machine operations and allows you to predict things well ahead of time. There are different packages out there that come with laser alignment tools. You can benefit greatly from them and if you can properly calculate the thermal growth right, you can easily eliminate it. The operating context of the machine matter the most to successfully eliminate issues with your machines. So, it is always better to train your machine operators about the operating conditions and operations manuals for running the machines. They also need to have the right sense of misalignment and its direction before you deploy any procedures or make use of your valuable resources. The best practice would be to be aware of the machine movement at all times and record those movements to have data to work with. There are advanced tools out there that can help you get rid of issues with your machines but you need to acknowledge the issue first, use the resources you got to deal with it and enlist the expertise of consultants if needed. Over the period of time, you can make it part of your reliability programs and incorporate these practices in your business procedures to avoid any problems in the first place.
