Balancing is one of the core skills all vibration analysts must have, and reliability specialists must understand what “precision” balancing means. This 45-minute presentation will explain how to verify that a rotor needs to be balanced, the single-plane balancing method, and in brief, how to achieve a precision balance. The session will be aided by a new Mobius software simulator that makes the vector method incredibly simple, and by “Elvis”, the new test-rig that will be balanced during the session. This session will be restricted in numbers. The first 15 people can participate in the balancing process; so you won’t just learn, you will get to do it. That’s why we will run this session twice.
