Basic Balance program
The BasicBalance program is used for single plane balancing of rotating equipment. Based on vibration amplitude readings, the software will calculate the required balancing weight and position for applying the balancing weight. The program does not require measurement of phase angle to calculate the balancing weight. Rotor balancing can be performed by using an inexpensive vibration meter, measuring only vibration amplitude. For recommended balancing limits, see international standard: ISO-3945.
The basic assumption is that vibration is due to pure unbalance and that most vibration occurs at the machine running speed. Four (4) trial weight runs are required, with the trial weight placed on the rotor at 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 270 degrees. Zero degrees is an arbitrary position chosen by the user. Angle can be measured in any direction. However once the 0 degree position and the angular direction has been decided on, it must be applied consistently.
Vibration measurement must be taken as close as possible to one of the machine's support bearings. Vertical or Horizontal vibration measurements can be used. However, once a location for taking the vibration measurements has been decided on, it is important that all vibration measurements are taken at exactly the same location and direction
