Basic Training Outline• What is an unbalanced rotor condition, what can
cause it, and how is it identified?• Why should unbalance be corrected?• Describe the different types of unbalance. How
are they handled differently?• What common vibration problems are confused
with unbalance or can complicate a dynamic balance job?
• How much unbalance is too much unbalance?• Different ways to balance: in situ, shop, by
parts, and by assembly.

The Basics: What is unbalance?• unbalance is the uneven distribution of mass
around a shaft’s rotating centerline.• There are different types of unbalance:
1. Static unbalance2. Couple unbalance3. Dynamic unbalance
• The difference between the types of unbalance correlates to the relationship between the geometric centerline and the rotating (inertial) centerline of the shaft.

Benefits of Correcting
1. Reduced vibration2. Extended machine life3. Reduced noise levels4. Reduced corrective maintenance and
increased reliability5. PEACE OF MIND

Causes
• Manufacturing errors – Tolerance stacking– Voids– Defective casts
• Operating effects– Debris buildup– Rubs or other loss of material

Identifying unbalance of Installed Machinery• Vibration analysis to the rescue!
– Many other vibration problems can often be confused with unbalance
– Advanced diagnostics can provide a positive ID of a true unbalance condition
• Alternative: “Easter Egging”– Trial and error approach as to whether the
vibration is from unbalance or… something else.

Commonly Confused Vibration Problems• unbalance produces a vibration at a
frequency consistent with the speed of the shaft that is out of balance. So does:1. Misalignment2. Looseness3. Resonance4. Eccentric rotors5. Bent shafts
• How do we make the distinction?

Correcting Static Unbalance

Where to Balance
1. Shop Balance: typical for new machines or machines whose balance planes are not accessible in field
a) By part: during manufacturing processb) By assembly: accounts for tolerance stacking
2. Field Balance (in situ): accounts for the surrounding structure and its influence on machine vibration.

How much is too much?• ISO 1940/1: Worldwide standard for SHOP balancing.
Not necessarily appropriate for field balance jobs as every machine is supported differently.
