Balancing: Introduction
Balancing on machines with rotating masses
The VIBXPERT balancing module is based on the well-known
'influence coefficients method':
First, VIBXPERT measures the vibration amplitude and phase angle
and the vibration caused by the imbalance or so-called 'initial
imbalance'. A defined trial weight* is then attached and the instru-
ment measures the resulting change in amplitude and phase. VIBX-
PERT calculates the influence coefficients from the difference be-
tween both vibrations according to magnitude and phase which
precisely indicates the location and magnitude of the balancing
weight with regard to the position and size of the trial weight. In the
case of two-plane balancing, the calculation of the influence of the
mass is also taken into account in the other plane. All so-called 'rigid'
rotors are balanced using this method.
A rigid rotor mainly exhibits proportional vibration behavior if the
balancing weight and angle change. In the case of fixed rotational
speed, weaknesses or resonances in the mounting have no influence
on the vibration behavior. If the machine rotates at a variable speed,
it frequently exhibits different vibration behavior for each revolution
and, therefore, has to be balanced several times over the range of
low-speed to high-speed running.
Soft rotors do not exhibit the expected proportional behavior with
the calculated balancing weight, and the coefficients method does
not apply. Such rotors can normally only be balanced in balancing
machines using a force measuring procedure.
* VIBXPERT calculates the weight and
location for the required trial mass in
such a manner that it usually results in
a reduction in the existing imbalance
and in the associated vibration load.
This has the added advantage that the
trial mass does not have to be removed
again but can remain on the machine
indefinitely.
