Detailed Rotor Balancing Process
Equipment Preparation
- accelerometers, laser rpm sensor, mounting stand, software application, and additional tools.
- Set up the instrument and connect it to your computer via USB. Verify that the software is correctly installed.
Mounting the Sensors
- Fix the accelerometers securely to the machine's structure in locations where vibrations are most prominent, ideally near the bearings.
- Direct the laser speed sensor towards the rotor and affix reflective tape to the rotor surface to facilitate phase angle measurement.
Software Startup
- 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 program will record the vibration amplitude, rpm, and phase, providing a baseline measurement of the existing imbalance.
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.

Determining the Corrective Mass
- Using the acquired measurements, the program automatically determines the required corrective weight's mass and angular position.
- These parameters are displayed on the screen as numerical data and graphs.

Installing the Correction Weight
- Attach the computed compensating weight to the rotor as indicated by the software's output.
- You can conduct interim measurements to confirm that the imbalance is decreasing as expected.

Final Check and Balance Confirmation
- 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.
- If the vibration level remains high, repeat the process with further weight adjustments.
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.
Final Recommendations
- Ensure all applied weights and attached sensors are firmly fixed in their designated positions.
- Ensure the rotor rotates smoothly and without excessive noise.
- If the rotor operates within a larger assembly, check the functionality and interplay of all interconnected parts.
