Options For Low Speed And Operating Speed Balancing Of Rotating Equipment.
Abstract
Most turbomachinery users refer to bearing vibration as one of
their major indicators of a successful repair. Frequently heard are
such comments as "we could not even tell the machine was
running." The single most observed cause for vibration is rotor
unbalance, yet sometimes this is not supported with the proper
level of importance placed on balance work. It sometimes seems
that more importance is placed on the exterior paint job. This
tutorial focuses on options available for balancing turbomachinery.
The strong and weak points of the various options available are
pointed out and several case histories are highlighted.
Though balance is important, it should not be considered a cure
for all problems. If major problems exist, they need to be taken
care of before any balance work is done.
