Thank you!! I just started a new job at a balancing company, and wow is there a lot to take in, especially when I only get like an hour and a half of training
I have been balancing industrial rotors from the tiny to 35,000 lb`s for 20 years. I use my old school CSI 2120 and I walk on water. Great video, wish I could explain this in a building at 150 db.. to them. I say weld this here and shut the door!
I think the correct axis referred here is not Geometric centre. It should be 'Rotating centre'. Because, even if both geometric centres and mass centers are coincided but the rotating centre is offset, then it creates unbalance. Also, even if mass centre is offset from geometric centre but if mass centre lies on rotation centre, then it is balanced. If i am wrong, please correct me. Thank you.
I don't think you're wrong, but it becomes an issue of semantics. For the geometric center, it is implied that it should the the axis about which the mass rotates. Hence the geometric center is the same as the rotating center.
Ok that is all common sense knowledge to me. I guess my mind for whatever reason already knew that. The solution I am looking for is better ways to balance the unbalanced masses as I build a lot of machines.
Dean Elliot I've balanced propellors weighing 2 tonnes to blower fan impellers running 15000rpm so can dynamically balance anything. There isn't a simpler way you just need the right set up and accurate instrumentation. Only takes me 30 minutes for high speed fan impellers obviously bigger jobs handling delicate assemblies with overhead cranes takes longer but I can't see any easier way apart from knowing what to do.
