Practical Field Balancing Textbook (194 page reference book)
Highlights:
This reference book provides information on how to perform single plane and 2-plane balancing using manual and computerized data collector programs, although classic graphical methods are first taught in order to give the analyst a better feel for what is happening to his rotor as balance correction weights are added.
Methods are provided on the use of laser tach and photocell for phase reference and balancing techniques which are required on overhung rotors, multi-plane balance techniques as well as illustrations on how to determine residual unbalance, along with the calculations of balance tolerances and specifications.
