MECHANICAL VIBRATION BALANCING


MACHINES DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION

1 Scope
This International
Standard gives requirements
for the evaluation
of the performance
and characteristics
of
machines for balancing rotating components. It stresses the importance attached to the form in which the balancing
machine characteristics should be specified by the manufacturers and also outlines criteria and tests for evaluating
balancing machines. Adoption of the format suggested in 4.1 and 4.2 makes it easier for the user to compare
products of the different manufacturers. Guidance as to the manner in which users should state their requirements
is given in annex B.
Details of proving rotors, test masses and performance tests to be employed to ensure compliance with specified
unbalance indicating capability are given. Tests for other machine capacities and performance parameters are not
contained in this International Standard.
Annex E describes

does not specify balancing

criteria; these are specified in ISO 1940-1.

This International Standard is applicable to balancing machines that support and rotate workplaces which are rigid
at balancing speed, and that indicate the amounts and angular locations of required unbalance corrections in one or
more planes. It covers both the machines that measure out-of-balance
effects on soft bearings and those that
measure this on hard bearings.
Technical requirements
for such balancing machines
associated with automatic correction, are excluded.

NOTE 1
The occasional overload force need only be stated for the lowest balancing speed. It is the maximum force per
suppori that can be accommodated by the machine without immediate damage.

The negative force is the static upward force resulting from a workpiece having its centre of mass outside the bearing support.
NOTE 2
Cycle rate for a given balancing speed is the number of starts and stops which the machine can perform per hour
without damage to the machine when balancing a rotor of the maximum moment of inertia.
NOTE 3
In general, for rigid rotors with two correction planes, one-half of the stated value pertains to each planshaped rotors, the full stated value holds for one plane.

for disc-

NOTE 4
Limits for soft-bearing machines are generally stated in gram millimetres per kilogram (specific unbalance), since
this value represents a measure of rotor displacement and, therefore, motion of the balancing machine bearings. For hardbearing machines, the limits are generally stated in gram millimetres, since these machines are usually factory-calibrated to
indicated unbalance in such units (see clause 6). For two-plane machines, this is the result obtained when the minimum
achievable residual unbalance is distributed between the two planes.
NOTE 5
In most cases, maximum torque is required for accelerating a workpiece. However, in the case of a workpiece with
high windage and/or friction loss, maximum torque may be required at balancing speed. When there is axial thrust, it is
necessary that provisions be made to take this into account.
NOTE 6

Examples of the type of drive to the workpiece are:

end drive by universal joint driver,

end drive by band,

belt drive,

magnetic field,

driven bearing rollers,

air jet, etc.

This value is only applicable for single-plane

7 Production
7.1

efficiency

General

Production efficiency is the ability of the machine to assist the operator in balancing a rotor to a given residual
unbalance in the shortest possible time. It shall be assessed by using a proving rotor or, alternatively, a test rotor to
be specified by the user.
To find the production rate for a specific rotor (number of pieces per time unit or the reciprocal of the floor-to-floor
time), the time per measuring run, the necessary number of runs, the time for loading, unbalance correction and
unloading have to be taken into consideration. The necessary number of measuring runs depends on the average
initial unbalance, the tolerance and the unbalance reduction ratio (URR).

General

This clause specifies technical requirements for a range of proving rotors for use in testing balancing machines. It
specifies rotor masses, materials. dimensions, limits, tapped hole dimensions, rotor balancing requirements and
details of test masses. The extent and costs of tests and the rotor size(s) may be negotiated between the
manufacturer and the user.

10.2 Proving

rotors

10.2.1 Three types of proving rotors are defined, named A, B and C (Figure 3). Typical
intended to be represented by the proving rotors, are characterized as follows.

Type A:

workpieces,

Rotors without journals, balanced on a vertical machinel ), in one or two correction

which are

planes.

Service bearing planes may be anywhere; i.e. one on each side, or both on one side of the main
rotor body. For the tests it is assumed that one bearing is on each side of the rotor.

Type B:

Type C:

Inboard rotors with journals,


between the bearings.

balanced

on a horizontal

machine,

Service bearings are positioned

on either side of the rotor.

Outboard
planes.

balanced

rotors with journals,

on a horizontal

mostly with two correction

machine,

with two overhung

planes

correction

Service bearing positions are similar to those on the proving rotor.


NOTE 1

Type C proving rotor is composed of a shaft and a proving rotor type A.

NOTE 2

Calculations for (Jmarfor type C proving rotor are based on the total mass (shaft and proving rotor type A).

10.2.3
Proving rotors shall be manufactured
of steel and shall be similar to those shown in figure 4 and table 3 for
vertical machines, figure 5 and table 4 for horizontal machines (inboard rotor), and figure 6 and table 5 for outboard
rotors (see 10.2.5).
10.2.4
For machines covered by this International Standard, the manufacturer
that may be used to confirm the performance of each machine prior to shipment

shall have available

proving rotors

10.2.5
If a horizontal machine is to be used for balancing outboard rotors (or inboard rotors with correction planes
overhanging on one side), additional tests have to be agreed upon (see 11.1). These require a proving rotor type C.
NOTE

NOTE 2

Older style rotors with only eight holes per plane maybe

modified to this International Standard (see annex E).

The shipment of proving rotors to the user is the subject of individual negotiation,

10.2.6
Clear and permanent angle markings shall be provided on every proving rotor every 10 and enumerated
intervals of 30. Two such scales with a clockwise and anticlockwise enumeration may be provided.

at

For testing stroboscopic machines, the proving rotor shall be equipped with a numbered standard band delivered
with the machine. The middle of the first number shall coincide with one set of tapped holes. Angle readout for the
tests shall be made from the numbered band and recalculated in the 360 circle.
10.2.7
For multi-purpose machines, a standard

masses

General

Test masses are used to create defined

in the proving rotor test planes,

unbalances

Since the test positions have threaded holes, the test masses may be in the form of bolts, screws, etc. A
recommended
solution is to have studbolts permanently fixed into all positions, protruding from the surface of the
rotor by a certain height, and to screw the test masses onto them. In this case, test masses are rings and the
precise location of their centres of mass (radius) can easily be identified.
The unbalance value of a test mass is always expressed
residual unbalance.
If the claimed

as follows:

If emar, the claimed minimum achievable

by multiplying

emar by

Umar = em,, m
NOTE
The required value for the mass of a particular test mass is derived from the required unbalance and the radius of
its centre of mass, when attached to the proving rotor.

10.3.2Test mass for Umar test


10.3.2.1

For the L/mar test (see 11 .6) the following test mass is required for plane 3 (see table 7):

one test mass producing

10 times Umar.

NOTE
For proving rotors of type A or B, 2 test masses of 5Umar each for planes 1 and 2 could be used instead. There is no
recommended alternative for proving rotors type C.

a)

Enter the angular position of plane 1 stationary test mass on the short line above the arrow in the appropriate
URR evaluation diagram. Mark radial lines in 20 intervals by entering degree markings in 20 increments
(rising clockwise) on all short lines around the periphery of the diagram.

b)

Since the stationary test mass in the plane 2 has a different angular position, enter a second angular reference
system into the diagram for plane 2. To avoid interference with the degree markings for plane 1, enter the
degree markings for plane 2 in the oval circles provided halfway between the degree markings for plane 1.

c)

Using the amount (multiples of Umar) and angle values from the data sheet, plot the plane 1 readings in the
form of test points (dots) on the appropriate URR diagram, using the amount scale as shown next to the vertical
arrow.

d)

Next plot the plane 2 readings, but in order to avoid confusing


all test points for plane 2.
