Balancing

Methods

  • Balancing on a balancing machine
  • Balancing rotors in their assembled state  

Operational balancing (often called field balancing or on-site balancing) provides a practical efficient method for test facilities, assembly and plant maintenance to balance or trim balance completely assembled machines.

Principle balancing steps

Balancing means re-distribution of the mass of a rotating body so the body rotates without influence on the bearings due to uncompensated centrifugal forces, and the bearings are not subjected to synchronous loads.

  • Measure the unbalance
  • Correct the unbalance
