You can monitor the machine health with vibration probes alone but if
you want to analyze the cause of failure of the machine you need three
dimensional graph showing/analyzing the vibrations at any point of time
when machine is running. If you don’t install the keyphasor you will
come to know that there are vibrations in the machine but you will not
point out at what direction, at what point, at what angle.
difficult.
The Keyphasor is used as a reference point of the shaft, 0 to 360
degrees. When analysis are performed , the viewing of the 1X and 2X
signals are important, X is defined as the running speed of the machine.
The monitors read overall vibration signals at all frequencies, the
Keyphasor is used to determine the speed.
Let’s say a machine is running at 5,000 RPM, with a Key phasor, the
instrument can filter the frequency to 5,000 rpm or 83.33 Hz. With this
signal, one can view the shaft behavior or orbit inside the bearing. The
phase is calculated as from the time the Keyphasor triggers to the first
positive peak of the vibration signal.
Manufacturers at their shop can balance the rotors with some other
means even if keyphasor is not present. But when rotor is to be
balanced at user’s site, keyphasor is required for balancing of Turbine
rotor is essential.
Advantages :
The Keyphasor is signal is used to generate more than one third of the

With the installation of the keyphasor, one can find out the direction the
vibrations, at which point the vibrations are there, at which angle the
shaft is vibrating.
