with the Balanset-1A Device

Getting the Equipment Ready

• Ensure the instrument is complete with all necessary components: vibration transducers, laser tachometer, magnetic stand, software, and other accessories.
• Connect the device to your PC using the USB interface and confirm the software installation.

Setting Up the Sensors

• Mount the vibration transducers securely on the machine's housing where vibrations are most pronounced, typically near the bearings.
• Direct the laser speed sensor towards the rotor and affix reflective tape to the rotor surface to facilitate phase angle measurement.

Launching the Software

• 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

• Operate the rotor at its intended working speed.
• The software will measure the vibration level, rotational speed, and phase angle. This data establishes the current imbalance condition.

Trial Weight Installation

• Halt the rotation and mount a test weight at a designated position on the rotor, with the weight's value entered into the software (usually in grams).
• Run the rotor again, allowing the software to measure the effects of the trial weight on vibration and phase.

Computing the Compensating Weight

• Based on the measured data, the software automatically calculates the correction weight parameters: mass and installation angle.
• The calculated values are presented on-screen in both numerical and graphical formats.

Mounting the Compensating 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

• With the compensating weight attached, operate the rotor and assess the level of any residual vibration.
• 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.

Creating a Balancing Report

• 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.

Concluding Steps and Verification

• 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.

Following this procedure enables accurate balancing, minimizes vibration, and prolongs the service life of the equipment.
