In-situ dynamic Rotor Balancing for Industrial Blowers
Introduction The importance of dynamic balancing in rotary machinery, particularly in blower systems, is well understood by industry professionals. Unbalanced blower rotors can lead to numerous complications including increased wear and tear, noise pollution, and high energy consumption. This paper aims to delve into the specific issues relating to elevated vibration in different types of blowers—squirrel cage, blower rotors, blower wheels, turbine type, rotary vane, lobe, and centrifugal blowers—and discuss the balancing process using the portable vibration analyzer Balanset-1A. Issues Associated with Elevated Vibration in Blower Systems Component Fatigue: Excessive vibration stresses material, leading to premature failure and fatigue. Operational Read more…
