Since phase difference is not 90o nor closer to 90o ,this means the
problem with the fan is something else other than unbalance.

 Different Kinds Of
Imbalance
1-plane 2-plane
imbalance imbalance

www.sendig. 20
 Characteristics Of
Imbalance
1. The vibration frequency is mainly composed of
RPM frequency. For each round the rotor turns, a
vibration is occurred.
2. The wave is an approximate sine wave.
3. There is a difference of 90o between the vertical
vibration phase and the horizontal one.
4. With RPM increasing, the vibration amplitude is
increased

 Basic Principle
Of 1 Plane Balancing
1 select a plane to fix trial mass and a
point to measure, draw scale of phase
and sign of 0o phase
2 measure initial vibration A0(phase
and amplitude)

A 3 fix a trial mass Q on the plane,

measure vibration A1
4 calculate influence coefficients:
phase RPM A A0
amplitude 1
Q
5 calculate balancing mass P: P A0

draw A0 & A1, calculate A1- A0
measure the angle between A1- A0
o K and A0

P mass.
A1- A0 the weight of balancing mass is as
the following : P Q A0

 Method of Influence
Coefficients
Method of influence coefficients is
widely used, its step as the following
(1 plane balancing as example):

1 measure initial vibration

2 fix a trial mass

3 measure the vibration with the trial mass

4 calculate the result of balancing mass

www.sendig. 24
 IF THE INFLUENCE COEFFICIENTS ARE KNOWN,
THE STEP OF FIXING TRIAL MASS ARE IGNORED

The former steps are simplified as the following:

1) measure initial measurement

2) input influence coefficients
3) calculate the result of balancing mass

www.sendig. 25
 NOTICES DURING THE
OPERATION

Confirm the dynamic

balancing are needed
according to spectrum phase
and phase analysis.
Direction of phase: Reflecting slice

reverse to the
direction of rotation

 SELECTING PARAMETERS

Measure displacement or velocity for middle or low speed machines

Measure velocity or acceleration for high speed machines

www.sendig. 27
 CONFIRM whether the trial is
suitable
before and after trial value difference<25% value difference>25%

phase difference<25 increase or move mass move trial mass

phase difference>25 ok ok

The radius of loading trial mass is as same as loading

the amended mass
