with the Balanset-1A Device

Getting the Equipment Ready

• vibration sensors, optical speed sensor, magnetic base, software package, and included accessories.
• Establish a USB connection between the instrument and the computer, ensuring the software is set up properly.

Setting Up 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

• Open the Balanset application on your PC.
• Choose the correct balancing method (single or two-plane) according to the rotor configuration and the balancing task.

• 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.

Trial Weight Installation

• 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).
• Resume rotor operation, and the program will capture the resulting changes in vibration amplitude and phase.

Computing the Compensating Weight

• The software uses the measured values to automatically compute the necessary compensating weight's magnitude and placement angle.
• The calculated values are presented on-screen in both numerical and graphical formats.

Attaching the Corrective Mass

• Install the correction weight on the rotor according to the software's calculations.
• Periodic checks can be performed to ensure the balancing procedure is effectively reducing the vibration.

Validation and Conclusion of the Balancing Process

• 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.
• Should the vibration still be excessive, repeat the balancing steps, making further adjustments to the corrective weight as needed.

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.

Final Recommendations

• Verify the secure attachment of all balancing weights and measurement sensors.
• 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.
