==Introduction==
==Introduction==
A rotor is a shaft rotating around its axis during service. In general such a rotor consists of a shaft with one or more discs fitted to the axle. Such discs can be fly wheels, grinding wheels, turbine wheels, etc. The shaft is usually running in bearings allowing the rotation of the body. Depending on their rotational speed, two basic categories can be defined to classify rotors: <u>rotors with rigid shaft</u>, and <u>rotors with flexible shaft</u>. <br>

If the operating speed remains below half of the first critical bending speed, the shaft does not deflect : it may be considered as a rotor with a rigid shaft. At such operational speeds and due to the non circular cross section of the rotor, the axis of rotation (Z) and the inertial axis (&Delta;) does not coincide (e.g. the mass is not evenly dispatched in a section of the shaft). This may results in a tumbling movement of the structure, which amplitude depends on the bearing clearance and stiffness. In any case, the bearings are subjected to unnecessary or even non allowed loads.

At higher speeds the shaft will deflect, due to is own stiffness. In that case, it might be considered as a rotor with flexible shaft.  Depending on the position of the discs on the shaft they can even be inclined and thus create an oil whirl. In that case, the Multiplane Balancing solution must be used.<br>

The <u>initial run</u> analyzes the behavior of the rotor due to its initial unbalance.


During the <u>test run</u>, the applied test masses modify the position of the unbalance. This yields the sensitivity of the rotor. Thus with the knowledge of the reaction of the rotor to added masses, suitable masses can be calculated to compensate the initial unbalance.

For <u>balancing in one plane</u>, just one test mass and one test run is necessary. It is important that the angular position of the initial unbalance is changed   significantly by the test mass. Take this into account, when choosing test weight and position.

When <u>balancing in two planes</u>, two test runs are necessary. For each run only one test mass is necessary positioned in one of both planes respectively. Again in both test runs the position of the unbalance must be changed by the test masses.

Imagine a rotating machine to be balanced when standing untightened on the floor. After the test mass is mounted the increased unbalance       causes the machine to move. Holding or fixing the machine during the test run will cause wrong balancing results. To overcome this chose lower test mass or position to reduce the unbalance. If this doesn<nowiki>'</nowiki>t work you could fix the machine during the <u>complete</u> balancing procedure. After this basic balancing execute a second complete balancing procedure with the machine unfixed (in normal operating conditions).

Set mass and position of the mass you want to use in column "Mounted Mass". The software automatically calculates the expected residual unbalance (green point in polar graph).


Click on "Prognosis" to get the calculation of the expected residual unbalance (green point in polar graph).
In this example, we only had a mass of 5 grams available instead of the calculated 4.685g mass to add at the 7th position. The prognosis shows that the residual unbalance (blue point in polar graph) moves to the green point inside the blue circle.
 
Only a mass of 4.2 gram was available and set to position 7. The prognosis shows that the residual unbalance (blue point in polar graph) moves to the green point inside the blue circle.

After setting up the acquisition channel and the machine type, you may setup the test run in the "Rotor" window. For two plane balancing, you will need to perform two test run, and set a mass on each plane. By example, here, we are putting a 5g mass at pos. 3 on the first plane for the test run1 and 5g mass at pos. 8 on the second plane for the test run2. We are not putting mass on the second plane for test run1 and no mass on the first plane for test run2 :

Click on "Prognosis" to get the calculation of the expected residual unbalance (green point in polar graph).


Only a mass of 4.2 grams was available, and set to position 7. The prognosis shows that the residual unbalance (blue point in polar graph) moves to the green point inside the blue circle.
Masses of 1 and 3.5 grams were available, and set to positions 5 and 6 on the first plane, and calculated masses are too small for the second plane. Therefore, we don't mount masses on the second plane as it is already balanced. <br>
 
The prognosis shows that the residual unbalance (light green point in polar graph) moves inside the blue circle.
