Do We Need to Balance the Workpiece at Operating/Usage Speed ​​in a Dynamic Balancing Machine?

In dynamic balancing, balancing the part at operating speed generally yields the most accurate results, but this is not always necessary. Thanks to modern balancing technology, dynamic balancing machines, especially those equipped with rigid bearings, can measure part unbalance with high precision even at much lower speeds. This is made possible by the balancing machine's capabilities. The measuring system detects the centrifugal force created by the mass imbalance in the part and calculates this imbalance in grams to millimeters. This measurement provides consistent results regardless of the speed at which the part is rotated. This allows parts operating at very high speeds to be balanced safely and with lower energy consumption.

Accurately measuring unbalance, even at low speeds, increases operational safety and speeds up the balancing process. Low-speed balancing corrections for fixed (rigid) rotors generally adapt to the rotor's operating conditions and are sufficient to achieve the desired balance. The modern machines we use at MBS Balancing Industry operate on this principle, ensuring the most efficient and safe balancing of components. However, in special cases, such as flexible rotors, testing may be necessary at speeds close to the rotor's operating speed. Except for these special cases, a standard dynamic balancing machine can measure unbalance independently of speed, significantly increasing the practicality and safety of the process.
