This article takes you through our recent visit to a home textile factory where down pillows and blankets are manufactured. Our focus will be on the balancing process of the machinery involved in the production. Pre-Balancing Procedures: Vibrometer Mode Measurements Initial Step Before proceeding with the balancing, it is advisable Read more…
Introduction Combine harvesters are vital machinery in agriculture, and like any complex machinery, they require proper maintenance for optimal performance. One often overlooked but crucial aspect of this maintenance is rotor balancing. Balancing rotors on combine harvesters may appear to be a generic task similar to other rotary machines like Read more…
The rotor is a body which rotates about some axis and is held by its bearing surfaces in the supports. The bearing surfaces of the rotor transmit loads to the supports via rolling or sliding bearings. The bearing surfaces are the surfaces of the trunnions or the surfaces that replace Read more…
Elevated Vibration Levels in Nestle Pet Food Plant In June of last year, a contractor responsible for maintenance at a Nestle plant specializing in pet food production encountered an issue with one of the crushers. Post-maintenance, the machine displayed increased vibration levels, reaching up to 8-9 mm/s, well above the Read more…
During the balancing of the Fecon forestry mulcher with the FAE attachment, our specialist recorded short videos of the rotor balancing process. In this video, a portable balancing device, the ArBalance vibration analyzer, is used. The balancing process is similar to the process with the Balanset-1A device. The technical characteristics Read more…
Earlier in the article, I described the modernization of an old balancing machine with soft-bearing supports. For such machines, we install the Balanset-1A balancing device in the case of machines with two supports, and the Balanset-4 in the case of machines with more supports. In this article, we will consider Read more…
The image shows a simple balancing stand being used to balance gears. The main feature of softbearing support balancing stands is that they have relatively compliant supports based on spring suspensions, spring-mounted carriages, flat or cylindrical spring supports, and so on. The natural frequency of oscillation of these supports Read more…
Over the course of more than 5 years, approximately thousand devices of the Balanset series have been produced. During this time, three versions of the device have been released, and a lot of work has been done to improve both the device itself and its software. We strive for continuous Read more…
Found an old correspondence between our lead specialist and one of our customers.Correspondence from ten years ago! Autor : Valery Davydovich Introduction I must admit that I was very surprised and pleased with the results of the letter written to us by Andrey Kobyakov, the driver of the motor grader. Read more…
Extent of Usage in Stationary Measurement Systems Statistics on the consumption structure of balancing devices manufactured by Vibromera reveal that approximately 30% of these devices are purchased for stationary measurement and computational systems in balancing machines or stands. Softbearing Machine Design Essentials The design illustration indicates a mobile frame affixed Read more…
