13. www.sendig.com12 Step 4-1: Balancing possible? – “ single peak spectrum ” ? Use 904/907 to measure vibration spectrum Only “single peak spectrum” can go for balancing 1) Switch to Analyzer 2) Use “ Collector ” to measure vibration 3) Use “ C-Spect ” to see velocity spectrum

14. www.sendig.com13 Sample of non-single peak spectrum- not suitable for Balancing

15. www.sendig.com14 Sample of non-single peak spectrum- Better change bearing before balancing

16. www.sendig.com15 Sample of single peak spectrum – You can reduce the vibration by Balancing

17. www.sendig.com16 Step 4-2: Balancing possible ? – “ 90 o phase difference ” ? Use 904/907 to measure vibration phase difference between vertical and horizontal directions Only “90 o phase difference” can go for balancing 1) switch to balancer and use 2-planes balancing procedure 2) Page down to “ Initial Measurement ” to measure vibration phase at X & Y 3) See if “ 90 o phase difference ” exist?

18. www.sendig.com17 Phase Measurement: Velocity Amplitude Phase Vertical: 9.416 320 Horizontal: 3.08 116 Since phase difference is not 90 o nor closer to 90 o, this means the problem with the fan is something else other than unbalance. Phase difference not 90 o Sample Sample of “non-90 o phase difference” – You cannot reduce the vibration by Balancing

19. www.sendig.com18 1. Phase stable 2. Phase Measurement: Velocity Amplitude Phase Vertical: 0.693 73 Horizontal: 1.569 150 ? Phase difference is 77 o Sample Sample of nearly “90 o phase difference” – You can reduce the vibration by Balancing

21. www.sendig.com20 Different Kinds Of Imbalance 1-plane imbalance 2-plane imbalance

22. www.sendig.com21 Characteristics Of Imbalance 1. The vibration frequency is mainly composed of RPM frequency. For each round the rotor turns, a vibration is occurred. 2. The wave is an approximate sine wave. 3. There is a difference of 90 o between the vertical vibration phase and the horizontal one. 4. With RPM increasing, the vibration amplitude is increased

23. www.sendig.com22 Basic Principle Of 1 Plane Balancing amplitude phase RPM A 1 select a plane to fix trial mass and a point to measure, draw scale of phase and sign of 0 o phase 2 measure initial vibration A 0 (phase and amplitude) 3 fix a trial mass Q on the plane, measure vibration A 1 4 calculate influence coefficients: 5 calculate balancing mass P:

24. www.sendig.com23 Illustration of 1 Plane Balancing A0A0 A1A1 A 1 - A 0 o  draw A 0 & A 1, calculate A 1 - A 0 measure the angle  between A 1 - A 0 and A 0 turn Q a  along the direction of , gain the correct location of balancing mass. the weight of balancing mass is as the following :   K o Q P

25. www.sendig.com24 Method of Influence Coefficients Method of influence coefficients is widely used, its step as the following (1 plane balancing as example): 1 measure initial vibration 2 fix a trial mass 3 measure the vibration with the trial mass 4 calculate the result of balancing mass

26. www.sendig.com25 IF THE INFLUENCE COEFFICIENTS ARE KNOWN, THE STEP OF FIXING TRIAL MASS ARE IGNORED The former steps are simplified as the following: 1) measure initial measurement 2) input influence coefficients 3) calculate the result of balancing mass

27. www.sendig.com26 NOTICES DURING THE OPERATION Confirm the dynamic balancing are needed according to spectrum and phase analysis. Direction of phase: reverse to the direction of rotation Reflecting slice phase

28. www.sendig.com27 SELECTING PARAMETERS Measure displacement or velocity for middle or low speed machines Measure velocity or acceleration for high speed machines

29. www.sendig.com28 CONFIRM whether the trial is suitable The radius of loading trial mass is as same as loading the amended mass The turning speed is steady
