How do you balance a rotor using a balancing machine?

Watch YouTube Short What does a vibration analyzer do? The process of balancing a rotor using the Balanset-1A device from Vibromera involves several key steps, from equipment preparation to the installation of correcting weights. Equipment preparation: Align the vibration sensors perpendicular to the rotor’s axis of rotation. Attach the laser tachometer to a magnetic stand, directing it towards the reflective tape attached to the pulley. Connect the sensors to the device and link the device to a laptop via USB. Launch the Balanset software, choosing the two-plane balancing mode. Initial vibration measurement: Prior to balancing, suspend a test weight and record its weight and installation radius. Start the rotor and measure the initial vibration level to determine the amplitude and phase of the initial imbalance. Balancing in the first plane: Place the test weight in the first balancing plane corresponding to the location of the first sensor. Start the rotor to measure the vibration level. It is crucial that the amplitude or phase changes by at least 20%, indicating partial correction of the imbalance. Balancing in the second plane: Shift the test weight to the second plane (where the second sensor is placed), restart the rotor, and take measurements. These data will help the program calculate the precise position and weight of the correcting weights. Imbalance correction: Based on the collected data, the Balanset program will suggest correcting weights and their installation angles for both planes. Remove the test weight, prepare the correcting weights as per the program’s recommendations, and install them at the required angle in the rotor’s direction of rotation from the initial test weight position. Verification and completion of balancing: Run the rotor for a final balancing check. If the vibration has reduced to an acceptable level, the process is complete. If further correction is needed, the program will indicate where and how much more weight to install. The Balanset-1A device comes with: Vibration transducers – 2 pcs; Phase angle sensor (laser tachometer) – 1 pc; Measurement block (Balanset device) – 1 pc; Magnetic stand – 1 pc; Electronic scales – 1 pc; Transportation case – 1 pc; Software on a flash drive – 1 pc. Price: 1751 Euros. Balancing of rotors in one and two correction planes. Balancing in one plane („static”) is typically done for narrow disc-shaped rotors without significant axial runout. Balancing in two planes („dynamic”) is performed for long two-support shaft-like rotors. It is recommended to ensure there is no significant static imbalance before balancing using the device. This preliminary balancing can help reduce vibration during initial start-ups of highly unbalanced rotors.
