Static and Dynamic Balancing of Rotating Machines

Step-by-step Balancing Procedure

Our balancing of rotating bodies tools acts as a sequence of three easy steps:

1. In step one, it records the actual status.
2. In step two it adds a trial mass.
3. In last step adds the calculated correction mass at the appropriate angle.

All three steps can be repeated if required. 

In the left image on the top you see the current step, with an explanation which action has to be taken, on the right, there are the interactive buttons “Back”, “Next”, “Measure”.

The table will fill with the results after each step. The polar plot shows the vibration levels (amplitude and angle) of each run (the unit depends on the input, mm/s or mm/s² or g).

Auto-generated Measurement Screen

When you have set up the balancing module in channel setup, there is an automatically generated display called “Balancing” in the measure mode.

This is the rotor balancer visual control, with channels automatically assigned from the math module.

Link Multiple Instances

When amplitude and phase of the signal are not stable – you have to find a different location for mounting the sensor, to get a better signal.

To save time, you can mount multiple sensors and measure them at once, and then decide which signal to take. The whole procedure is the same, but you only need to operate one VC (visual control), all the other instruments will follow, of course providing different results.
