Balancing Machines

Universal balancing machines are adaptable for balancing a considerable variety of sizes and types of rotors. These machines commonly have a capacity for balancing rotors whose weight varies as much as 100–1 from maximum to minimum. The elements of these machines are adapted easily to new sizes and types of rotors.

Theory of Balancing > Rotor Balancer

The first step of balancing procedure is to do an initial run. The machine has to be run up the operating speed. The vibration velocity is detected. The velocity level and phase angle give together a vector that represents the original unbalance of the rotor.

A Handy Guide to Balancing Rotating Machinery

Balancing the machine 11. Place your vibration sensor where the vibration is the highest. Take a full set of measurements, or at least a quick check of vibration on the rotor bearings. For the balance job, place your accelerometer where the …

A Handy Guide to Balancing Rotating Machinery

Determine whether you need a single plane or a two plane balance. Typically, if the rotor width is less than half of the diameter a single plane balance will be sufficient. If the width is more than half the diameter, a two plane balance may work best. 10. Balancing by angles or blades. Historically, balancing was calculated in degrees.

USING THE STANDARD The use of the standard involves the following steps: 1. Select a balance quality grade "G number" from Table 1 based on rotor type. 2.

Balancing Plane

The following are suggested steps for balancing a rotor using a multiplane balancing technique. The steps are applicable to a specific program; however, other programs will require about the same information: 1. Choose the number of balancing planes and install an equal or greater number of proximity probes.

Balancing Quality Limits

Determination of Balancing Quality Limits Page 4 of 7 Ali M. Al-Shurafa 1/27/2003 available in other standards.) . Balancing standard provides generalized grades for which rotor application, mass, and speed can tailored for specific cases. In general, the larger the rotor mass, the greater the permissible residual unbalance.
