with the Balanset-1A Device

Getting the Equipment Ready

• vibration sensors, optical speed sensor, magnetic base, software package, and included accessories.
• Establish a USB connection between the instrument and the computer, ensuring the software is set up properly.

Sensor Installation

• Fix the accelerometers securely to the machine's structure in locations where vibrations are most prominent, ideally near the bearings.
• Position the laser tachometer (phase angle sensor) so that it is aimed at the rotor. Attach reflective tape to the rotor for accurate phase angle reading.

Starting the Program

• Open the Balanset application on your PC.
• Select the appropriate balancing mode: single-plane or two-plane, depending on the rotor type and your specific requirements.

Initial Vibration Measurement

• Bring the rotor to its normal operating rotational frequency.
• The application will acquire data on vibration magnitude, rotational velocity, and phase angle to determine the initial imbalance state.

Attaching the Trial Weight

• Bring the rotor to a standstill and affix a trial weight at a predetermined point on the rotor, specifying its mass in the software (typically in grams).
• Run the rotor again, allowing the software to measure the effects of the trial weight on vibration and phase.

Calculating the Correction Weight

• The software uses the measured values to automatically compute the necessary compensating weight's magnitude and placement angle.
• The results of the calculation are shown both numerically and visually through charts and graphs.

Installing the Correction Weight

• Install the correction weight on the rotor according to the software's calculations.
• If necessary, perform intermediate checks to verify that the imbalance is being reduced.

Validation and Conclusion of the Balancing Process

• With the compensating weight attached, operate the rotor and assess the level of any residual vibration.
• If the measured vibration falls within the tolerance defined by ISO 1940, the balancing process is considered successful.
• Should the vibration still be excessive, repeat the balancing steps, making further adjustments to the corrective weight as needed.

Generating a Documentation of the Balancing Results

• The balancing results are saved in the software's archive. You can create and print a report containing vibration data, correction weight mass, and its installation angle.

Post-Balancing Checklist

• Verify the secure attachment of all balancing weights and measurement sensors.
• Ensure the rotor rotates smoothly and without excessive noise.
• In cases where the rotor is integrated into a more complex system, ensure the correct operation and interaction of all related components.

This process allows for precise imbalance correction, reducing vibration and extending equipment life.
