Rotor Balancing Workshops
|
|
|
Our Rotor Balancing Workshops are designed to provide an open
forum in a regional setting where participants can review basic
balancing principles, improve skills and address specific
application challenges.After a brief introduction of
balancing concepts, students will learn specific techniques and
participate in hands-on exercises to improve skills. Focus
modules in 2008 include:
|
• |
Rotor
Balancing Workshop I
Understanding Tolerances & Speed- How to determine the
correct ISO/API quality grade/tolerance for your application
(G1.0, G2.5, G6.3. . .) and the appropriate balancing speed. |
|
• |
Rotor Balancing
Workshop II
Improving
Measuring Results- How to use single compensation, key
compensation and index balancing to effectively remove unbalance
influences and improve measuring results. |
|
• |
Rotor Balancing
Workshop III
Addressing Rotor
Configurations- How to address different (unique) rotor
configurations in one or two planes to improve unbalance
reduction ratio and plane separation. |
|
• |
Rotor Balancing
Workshop IV
Improving
Correction Techniques- How to calculate the exact amount of
material for standard correction methods such as drilling,
milling or the addition of weights. |
|
• |
Rotor Balancing
Workshop V
Calibration & Performance Testing - How to calibrate for
difficult rotor setups and performance test your balancing
machine. |
|
• |
Rotor Balancing
Workshop VI
Accuracy & Repeatability - How to determine the accuracy
and repeatability of your rotor/tooling setup. |
|
• |
Rotor Balancing
Workshop VII
Balancing Using Polar Moment of Inertia (PMI) Rotors - How
to use PMI rotors when balancing jet engine components. |
