Dynamic Balancing

Understanding how a machine is operating will enable the trial weight to be located in a position that will improve, rather than increase the vibration. Learn how a quick and basic examination will result in fewer runs and therefore a faster and safer correction.

Using Displacement allows for a direct correlation between High Spot (what the accelerometer sees) and Heavy Spot (where the unbalance is).

Much can be learnt by examining the change in magnitude and phase during the initial run-up and later coast down to understand the nature of machine running condition, related to natural or “critical” frequency excitations. Most drives can be balanced using a very simple and easy to follow procedure.
