Balancing of a Fan Impeller at a Repair Plant

At a repair facility, the task at hand was the balancing of a fan impeller. Utilizing the Balanset-1A dynamic rotor balancing device, the process was initiated with the measurement of the initial vibration. Following the established procedure:

  1. The initial vibration was measured.
  2. Calibration or test weights were set up. The Balanset-1A device accurately gauged the variation in vibration with a weight of known mass at a specified point.
  3. Based on the data obtained, corrective weights were affixed or mass was removed. The device precisely calculated the angle and weight needed to balance the rotor.
  4. The results were then verified.

The outcome was impressive. After balancing, the vibration values were reduced significantly to 1.7 mm/s and 0.8 mm/s respectively, ensuring the fan impeller's efficient operation. Such an achievement, facilitated by the Balanset-1A, showcases its prowess in field balancing and vibration analysis.

Nikolai Shelkovenko is a vibration analysis engineer and the founder and CEO of Vibromera. For more than 15 years he has balanced rotating equipment in the field rather than on a test bench: mulchers, industrial fans, crushers, centrifuges, shafts and spindles. That work is what the Balanset instruments grew out of — they were designed as a tool a specialist can carry to the machine and use alone, on site, not as laboratory equipment. Vibromera was founded in 2017 and has been based in Porto, Portugal, since 2023. Development, assembly and support of the Balanset line all happen here. The flagship instrument is the Balanset-1A, a portable analyser for single- and two-plane balancing and for vibration diagnostics. Nikolai is personally involved in customer support, in working through difficult balancing cases and in the development of the software. He works with customers worldwide, in any language.
