RPM and Frequency Basics

适用场景

Use this guide when teams mix rpm, Hz, and orders without writing down which shaft or gear stage they mean.

步骤

  1. 1Identify which rotating element defines your fundamental mechanical frequency.
  2. 2Convert rpm to Hz with f = rpm / 60.
  3. 3Multiply by integer orders for blades, poles, or gear mesh tones when relevant.
  4. 4Compare against electrical line frequency only when you have a coupled motor scenario.
  5. 5Use FFT or tachometer data to validate assumptions on real equipment.

示例

  • Pump at 1450 rpm mapped to Hz for vibration alarms.
  • Four-pole motor approximate sync speed discussion.

应避免

  • Confusing mechanical rpm with electrical frequency without pole count.
  • Using Hz for orders without stating the reference rpm.
  • Ignoring slip in induction machines when precision matters.

常见问题

Is this structural resonance?

No. It is kinematics only; resonance needs modal analysis.

Variable speed drives?

Operating point rpm follows the drive, not nameplate sync speed.
