Dynamic Balancing – “Did you really want to know this much!”

Led by Ron Newman, PRUFTECHNIK, Canada

Unbalance has long been recognized as one of the leading causes of vibration in rotating machines. Under ideal conditions, field balancing is a correction method that is well understood and practiced, however under difficult conditions it can quickly become a major headache. Increasing our understanding of dynamic balancing, particularly in the area(s) of quality grades, recognizing the types of rotor unbalance, resonance vs. critical speed, rigid vs. flexible rotors, and the pre-balancing inspection, will go a long way in helping resolve that problem balancing job!

Maximizing the value of each maintenance dollar requires standardizing and streamlining every aspect of the maintenance work. Once we standardize how maintenance is done on a particular asset, Oracle eAM becomes the storage facility for this knowledgebase. It also functions as the "automated electronic repair manual" to manage and control the execution of work for that asset.
