6.8 Balancing measurement

The purpose of balancing is to compensate for imbalances in rotating parts
through the precision attachment of balance weights in order to extend their
service life. You can use the Detector III to quickly and reliably determine the best
location of up to two counterweights.
WARNING Damage due to balancing in the resonance range
If you are b alancing a machine in the resonance range, even the
smallest changes of weight may lead to severe fluctuations of the
vib ration amplitude. This may cause serious damage to the
machine and operator injuries.
Therefore, do not perform b alancing in the machine resonance
range.
If you do not know the resonance ranges,
ask the manufacturer or consult the enclosed documents ab out

If you use the weights suggested b y the Detector, it is imperative
that you check the plausib ility of these weights. In the b alancing
settings, ensure that you have entered the correct values for the
rotor mass and radius b ecause these are factored into the
calculation.
Procedure for a balancing measurement
1. Measurement of rotational speed
rotational speed of the component: the trigger sensor counts the revolutions
using a reflex mark which is attached to the component as a reference.
2. Reference run
