Abstract

To realize accurate dynamic axial clearance measurement in high-speed rotating machinery using basic Frequency-swept interferometry (FSI), a novel algorithm of Doppler error suppression is proposed. In this algorithm, we first extract the incremental phase of the FSI signal by Hilbert transform and use it to construct a virtual clearance variation. Then, using the periodic characteristics of rotor rotation, optimized initial clearance can be obtained. Eventually, the dynamic axial clearance at each sampling point can be recovered with the optimized initial clearance and the Doppler error is greatly suppressed. The feasibility of this method is tested and verified by both simulation and experiment. For a 4 kHz rotation simulating target located at 5 mm away, the experimental results show that the dynamic clearance measurement error is less than 2.057 µm, which meets the measurement accuracy required for most high-speed rotating machinery.
