Gyroscopes balancing

Gyroscope Rotor Balancing: Stand Modernization and Precision Enhancement Gyroscopes are crucial components of navigation and control systems used in spacecraft, modern aircraft, ships, and other types of machinery. The accuracy and reliability of these systems depend directly on the quality of gyroscope rotor balancing. In 2010, our specialists undertook the modernization of a balancing stand for gyroscope rotors at a manufacturing facility in Russia. During the project, we replaced an outdated measuring system, which significantly reduced the level of residual imbalance. What is Residual Imbalance? Residual imbalance is a measure of the uneven distribution of mass around the rotor’s axis Read more…

Assembled separator balancing

Traditional Balancing Limitations Previously, separator manufacturing plants used technology that required individual components of the separator to be balanced on specialized balancing machines. This posed challenges in achieving acceptable vibration levels for the assembled machines. Due to the high rotation frequencies of separator rotors, even slight manufacturing and assembly errors could lead to elevated imbalance levels. Transition to Assembled Balancing Our team introduced a new balancing device that enabled the final balancing of assembled separators at their operating rotation frequency. This transition opened up the possibility of maintaining residual vibrations within the range of 0.5 – 0.7 mm/s at rotation Read more…

On the Issue of Balancing Aircraft Propellers in Field Conditions

Chief Specialist V.D. Feldman 1. Instead of a Preface Two and a half years ago, our enterprise began the serial production of the “Balanset 1” device, designed for balancing rotary mechanisms in their own bearings. To date, more than 180 sets have been produced, which are effectively used in various industries, including the production and operation of fans, blowers, electric motors, machine spindles, pumps, crushers, separators, centrifuges, cardan and crankshafts, and other mechanisms. Recently, our enterprise has received a large number of inquiries from organizations and individuals regarding the possibility of using our equipment for balancing aircraft and helicopter propellers Read more…

Vacuum pumps balancing stand

Vacuum pumps balancing stands were developed in 2002 and 2009. The main requirement in developing these stands was to ensure high quality balancing of assembled pump high-speed turbine rotors (in their own bearings) at the operating speed, which can be 42,000 – 60,000 rpm for various types of pumps. The actual value of the residual rotor imbalance had to meet the requirements for rotors of the 1st accuracy class in accordance with the GOST 22061-76. The design of the stands under consideration is schematically presented in Fig. 1 As in the previous case, the stand is executed in the form Read more…

Crashers Example

Crushers rotors balancing

The introduction of our devices allowed the Customer to independently balance crushers massive rotors (up to 800 kg) within their own bearings, reaching residual vibration levels not exceeding 0.3-0.5 mm/s. Moreover, these works are carried with our equipment, both in the workshop, while assembling and adjusting the crushes, and directly in the quarries and cuts where they are applied.

Exhausters balancing

The Importance of Exhauster Balancing Exhauster fans, also known as industrial exhaust fans or exhaust blowers, are crucial components in various industrial and commercial settings, ensuring proper ventilation and the removal of hazardous fumes, dust, and contaminants. However, just like any rotating machinery, exhausters can develop imbalances over time, leading to a range of issues that can significantly impact system performance and overall safety. The Importance of Exhauster Balancing Balanced exhausters offer a multitude of benefits, including: Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Balanced exhausters operate smoothly, reducing energy consumption and lowering operational costs. Reduced Noise and Vibration: Unbalanced exhausters produce excessive noise Read more…

Balancing the fan impellers

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: The initial vibration was measured. 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. 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. The results were then verified. The Read more…
