Rotating machinery (eg pumps, motors, compressors) is normally
manufactured to precise measurements but there comes a point when
the costs of manufacture mean that further precision is not
cost-effective and thus any slight imbalance inherent in the
machine will need to be attended to after manufacture. When such
machinery is in operation, often at very high speeds of thousands
of revs per minute, any imbalance will set up vibration and often
noise. In addition, such imbalance will cause extra wear and loss
of efficiency in the machine. The answer is to balance the affected
parts of the machine so that it operates smoothly and efficiently.
This book is a practical account of such balancing techniques e.g
how to balance a rotor, how to set up and verify performance of a
balancing machine, and procedures for on-site balancing. In
addition, other common causes of vibration will be covered e.g.
misalignment, bad bearings and looseness.
This book is the distillation of a successful course run by the
author and developed over 20 years. University engineering
departments do not teach balancing techniques beyond the very
basic, and there is a need for educators and engineers to have a
practical book available on the topic.
-A practical book which will help the reader understand the
importance of balance in today's high technology world
-Outlines the history of dynamic balancing and other vibration
reduction techniques
-Profusely illustrated throughout
