Balancing

Analysis of rotor assembly and balancing techniques

It is important to evaluate the rotor assembling and balancing technology, that includes a systematic error.

The goal is to identify and justify the shortcomings of the methods in use.

Work performed:

  • Analysis of the applied assembling and balancing technology. Development of new technology, taking into account the existing customer’s equipment;
  • Determination of a flexible rotor correction planes for low-frequency balancing, taking into account its vibration modes;
  • Development of flexible rotor balancing technology;
  • Determination of the dynamic coefficients of influence – calculation of the engine parts minimum acceptable imbalances with the DYNAMICS R4 S/W.

Result:

  • Recommendations for improvement of assembling and balancing techniques.

Flexible rotor balancing technology

  • Choice of rotor class.
  • Choice of balancing method.
  • Choice of correction planes.
  • Calculation of the dynamic coefficients of influence (DKV) in DYNAMICS R4 in the sensor installation stations.
  • Calculation of the initial and residual imbalance tolerances.
  • Choice of the balancing speed.
  • DYNAMICS R4 calculation of the expected unbalance and vibrations of the rotor stage in the engine test conditions.
