Analytical and Experimental Study on Balancing Using Influence Coefficient Method

Abstract:

Unbalance effect on rotating element happens as a result of an off centered mass concentration which will generate centrifugal forces with increasing running speeds. This unwanted situation requires correction to avoid failure due to excessive vibration. In this study, unbalance problem are studied by using theoretical influence coefficient method followed by the experimental verification. Experimental procedure is performed by using trial mass to calculate the influence coefficient and the corrected mass values as well as the phase angles. Finally, the vibration reduction of the rotor is compared theoretically and experimentally. Based on the results, the improved vibration reduction could be obtained reasonably for both single and two-plane balancing by using influence coefficient method.
