Balancing Rotating Machinery

The bottom line: you must achieve precision balance.

In this course, you will learn how to recognize unbalance and set up the balance job for a successful balance. The course starts with the basics – providing an introduction to vibration, phase and vectors, and fully explaining the balancing process. You will first learn how to perform a single plane balance with vectors. You will learn how to balance a machine using the single-plane and two-plane balance functions of an analyzer.

Course Breakdown:

The Basics

What unbalance is, why it occurs, and why it is important to precision balance a machine

The Understanding Phase

Understanding phase: what it is and how to measure it

Phase Conventions

Phase conventions, and representing phases with vectors

Advanced Phase

The relationship between the phase angle and the actual heavy spot on the rotor

Different types of unbalance:

Static unbalance
Couple unbalance
Dynamic unbalance

Unbalancing Diagnoses
