with the Balanset-1A Device

Preparing the Necessary Tools

• vibration sensors, optical speed sensor, magnetic base, software package, and included accessories.
• Set up the instrument and connect it to your computer via USB. Verify that the software is correctly installed.

Sensor Installation

• Fix the accelerometers securely to the machine's structure in locations where vibrations are most prominent, ideally near the bearings.
• Direct the laser speed sensor towards the rotor and affix reflective tape to the rotor surface to facilitate phase angle measurement.

Starting the Program

• 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.

• Run the rotor up to its operating speed.
• The program will record the vibration amplitude, rpm, and phase, providing a baseline measurement of the existing imbalance.

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

Determining the Corrective Mass

• The software uses the measured values to automatically compute the necessary compensating weight's magnitude and placement angle.
• The results of the calculation are shown both numerically and visually through charts and graphs.

Mounting the Compensating Weight

• Mount the calculated corrective weight onto the rotor at the specified location and angle.
• If necessary, perform intermediate checks to verify that the imbalance is being reduced.

Final Check and Balance Confirmation

• With the compensating weight attached, operate the rotor and assess the level of any residual vibration.
• The balancing procedure is finished if the remaining vibration is within the permissible limits specified in ISO 1940.
• If the vibration level remains high, repeat the process with further weight adjustments.

Creating a Balancing Report

• The program stores the balancing data, allowing you to generate and print a comprehensive report including vibration measurements, corrective weight details, and its angular placement.

Concluding Steps and Verification

• Verify the secure attachment of all balancing weights and measurement sensors.
• Ensure the rotor rotates smoothly and without excessive noise.
• In cases where the rotor is integrated into a more complex system, ensure the correct operation and interaction of all related components.
