2 Channel Data Collector / Analyzer / Balancer HG904 Data Collector Transfer Function Analysis
Imbalance is one of the main causes of machine vibration. It is estimated that about 50 percent of all the faults are caused by imbalance of rotors. The best mean for getting rid of mechanical imbalance is on-site balancing. HG904 Machinery Analyzer/Balancer is especially useful for this purpose. It can measure the intensity of the vibration; diagnose vibration cause by analyzing the frequency spectrum. It can also be used to measure the rotation speed and vibration phase, and to calculate the imbalance weight and location.

BALANCE PRINCIPLES
What is 1-plane rotor imbalance?
Rigid rotor works under the speed far less than its first-order critical rotate speed and its deformation can be neglected. When the quality of the rigid rotor nearly focuses on a disc, namely the ratio of its axial length and its diameter is less than 0.5; we can do 1-plane balance on it and gain satisfactory result.
But for the flexible rotor, the deformation cannot be neglected. So its method of balance differs from rigid rotor. However, the rotor with single imbalance plane can also be balanced according to the method of 1-plane balance of rigid rotor. For above, whether the rigid or flexible rotor, its quality of imbalance always focuses on one disc, so both of them can be balanced according to the method of 1-plane rotor balance. In the plant and manufactory, such rotating machines are ubiquitous, such as pump, ventilator etc.
Principle of 1-Plane Balancing
HG904’s 1-plane balance adopts the method of influence coefficient, which is also called balance method of 1-plane phase measuring. Just as its name implies, it’s desirous to do the measurement with the phase of rotation-speed vibration when measuring the vibration amplitude of rotor. The rotation-speed vibration can be indicated as vector. The process of 1-plane balance is as follows:
Q = - M x A0 / (A01 – A0)
During the balancing, all the vibration should be measured under the same rotate speed because of the imbalance force of rotor relates with the rotate speed.
Principle of 2-planes balancing
Almost all the balance of single span rotor can be achieved through the method of 2-planes dynamic balance. As a matter of fact, 1-plane dynamic balance is only one special example of 2-planes dynamic balance.
When doing 2-planes dynamic balance, two planes of adding mass and two points of vibration measure are needed. HG904’s 2-planes dynamic balance also adopts the method of influence coefficient. But the difference from 1-plane dynamic balance is that the vibration of two measurement points should be measured when adding trial-mass to one of the planes. That’s so-called interact effect. 2-planes dynamic balance has four influence coefficients.
The steps to do 2-planes dynamic balance is as followings:
If the influence coefficient is known, it can be input directly and the above step (2) can be omitted.
