A novel experimental study of single-plane balancing method of crankshaft without phase angles data

الملخص EN

In real machines, rotating parts are balanced using data of both phase angles and vibration values.

This paper presents an analytical solution of a novel single–plane balancing method using only two test runs of trial mass without needing to use any data of phase angles.

In addition, a comparative experimental study for each of the proposed method and other two methods known as the three test runs and four test runs has been performed.

Throughout this study, an actual arrangement of a crankshaft of an electrical generator has been constructed for the test purposes, moreover, a computer program based on the proposed method analysis has been written using (C) Language to calculate the magnitude and location of the required balancing mass.

This study showed that the proposed balancing method was very effective, practical and saving lots of time, cost and effort as it requires only two test runs.

In addition, a small vibration meter of light weight and low cost has been used to achieve balancing.
