with the Balanset-1A Device

Equipment Preparation

• Ensure the instrument is complete with all necessary components: vibration transducers, laser tachometer, magnetic stand, software, and other accessories.
• Establish a USB connection between the instrument and the computer, ensuring the software is set up properly.

Mounting the Sensors

• Mount the vibration transducers securely on the machine's housing where vibrations are most pronounced, typically 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.

Launching the Software

• Launch the Balanset software on your computer.
• Configure the software for either single-plane or two-plane balancing, based on the rotor's characteristics and the desired outcome.

• Run the rotor up to its operating speed.
• The software will measure the vibration level, rotational speed, and phase angle. This data establishes the current imbalance condition.

Attaching the Trial Weight

• Stop the rotor and attach a trial weight at a specific location on the rotor. The weight's mass can be specified within the software (e.g., in grams).
• Restart the rotor, and the software will record the changes in vibration level and phase angle.

Calculating the Correction Weight

• Using the acquired measurements, the program automatically determines the required corrective weight's mass and angular position.
• The results of the calculation are shown both numerically and visually through charts and graphs.

Installing the Correction Weight

• Mount the calculated corrective weight onto the rotor at the specified location and angle.
• You can conduct interim measurements to confirm that the imbalance is decreasing as expected.

Verification and Balancing Completion

• After installing the correction weight, run the rotor again and check the residual vibration level.
• If the vibration level is within acceptable limits (according to ISO 1940), the balancing is complete.
• If the vibration is still outside acceptable limits, reiterate the process and fine-tune the compensating weight.

Report Generation

• All balancing results are logged and archived within the software, from which you can produce a printable report summarizing the vibration levels, compensating weight, and its installation position.

Post-Balancing Checklist

• Double-check that all weights and sensors are securely fastened.
• Check that the rotor's rotation is smooth and free from undue noise or vibration.
• 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.
