On-Site Dynamic Balancing

Dynamic balancing is a testing process by which moving parts such as drive shafts are evaluated for vibration. The Reliability Services Group uses the latest multi-plane balancing equipment to insure the best possible balance.

However, when balancing rotational equipment, there are other problems that need to be addressed. It is very important to identify the other issues prior to balancing. That is why you will receive a full vibration analysis on the machinery. This will allow the machine to be balanced and run to optimal efficiency. By performing a full vibration analysis the time required for dynamic balancing will be reduced as other issues have been identified.

With the completion of the on-site dynamic balancing work, the Reliability Services Group will provide the following:

• Machine history
• Balance status
• Tolerance specifications
• Final balance magnitudes
• Percent reduction of balance magnitudes
• Before and after vibration spectrums
• Baseline vibration signature on the entire unit
• Any recommendations
