Rotor Dynamic Balancing

Duration: 2 Days

Rotor Dynamic Balancing is a specialized engineering course (often a subset of Rotor Dynamics or Vibration Analysis) that teaches the theory and practical techniques for redistributing the mass of a rotating body so that its center of mass aligns with its axis of rotation. 

 

Who is this for: Maintenance technicians, mechanical engineers, machinery operators, Plant managers and supervisors and reliability engineers.

 

What you will learn:

The course typically focuses on identifying and correcting three types of unbalance:

  • Static Unbalance: Where the center of mass is offset but parallel to the axis (like a heavy spot on a thin disk).
  • Couple Unbalance: Where two equal heavy spots are on opposite sides and opposite ends, causing the shaft to want to “rock.”
  • Dynamic Unbalance: A combination of both, where the principal inertia axis is neither parallel to nor intersects the rotation axis.
