Our Flexible Rotor Balancing course is designed to provide engineers, millwrights and technicians with the skills to accurately balance rotors that operate near their critical speeds. This comprehensive program studies modern theory and provides operators with practical hands-on training.
After a brief overview of the fundamentals of balancing as they apply to flexible
rotors, you'll study modern theory and learn to identify the different types of unbalance using state-of-the-art computerized equipment. You'll also be able to practice the skills you've learned during hands-on practical sessions with a multi-plane flexible shaft.
Other topics include:
•
Instrumentation tips and techniques using CAB 690
•
Tolerance specifications as applied to rigid & flexible rotors
•
Balancing class 2 rotors
•
Balancing corrections in 3 planes
•
Whip reduction balancing methods
•
Critical bending modes for soft-bearing and hard-bearing machine supports
•
Weight and speed considerations of hard-bearing machines when balancing flexible rolls
•
Balancing felt rolls operating below resonance
•
Balancing reel spools operating above resonance
Who should attend:
Engineers, millwrights and technicians involved in the manufacture and repair of flexible rotors that operate near their critical speeds such as paper rolls and drive shafts. Experience with rigid rotor balancing and a background in vibrations or mechanics as well as completion of our Fundamentals of Dynamic Balancing course is recommended.
