This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice will serve as a practical resource that offers guidance to both the machine operator and process engineer for isolating the source(s) of non-repeatability in measured unbalance data. The content of this standard addresses: Machine capability to achieve the specified unbalance tolerances and repeat within those tolerances. Tooling capability to repeat within the specified unbalance tolerances. Rotor characteristics that may preclude repeating within the required unbalance tolerances.

This new Aerospace Recommended Practice will serve as a practical resource that offers guidance to both the machine operator and Process Engineer for isolating the source(s) of non-repeatability in measured unbalance data. The content of this standard addresses: • Vertical Dynamic Machine Capability to achieve the specified unbalance tolerances and repeat within those tolerances • Tooling Capability to repeat within the specified unbalance tolerances • Rotor characteristics that may preclude repeating within the required unbalance tolerances.

This AIR provides a general guideline on how to perform effective measurement systems analysis study (MSA) for rotor balancing tasks. The document also includes applicable data analysis methods and result interpretation.

To inform users on proper use, procedures and common errors when using electronic compensation for tooling on horizontal and vertical balancing machines

This SAE Aerospace Information Report is to supplement content from ARP4163 pertaining to error analysis on the use of multiple drive adapter applications, on both vertical and horizontal balance machines. This new Aerospace Information Report will serve as a practical resource that offers guidance to the Machine Operator and Process Engineer.

Provide guidance on how balance machine vector data is captured and reported. Provide an understanding of how to transform balance machine vector data to alternate locations. Provide guidance on how vector imbalances may be used to evaluate and diagnose balance process performance.

Provide a fundamental understanding of reason for completing a bode plot on the balance machine. Discuss potential causes of a resonance within the balance process. Discuss the basis for the WN^2 requirement and how it pertains to the bode plot. Provide guidelines for the usage and interpretation of the bode plot.

The scope of these standards will relate to single-axis moment scales only. Topics covered include dimensional characteristics of single-axis moment scale interfaces, general tooling requirements, scale and tooling accuracy, and display instrument accuracy requirements. Additionally, general guidelines for qualification of equipment and tooling are included, as are general requirements for single-axis blade distribution software.

This document establishes general design criteria, tolerances, and limits of application for tooling, fixtures and accessories for mounting and driving gas turbine engine rotors on horizontal and vertical balancing machines. For your own safety, while using balancing tooling, regard the safety instructions of the individual supplier.

The goal of this new document is to provide criteria for managing, auditing, and controlling the use of rotating balancing tooling and associated support tools. A variety of subjects will be addressed including serialization and marking requirements, critical inspection criteria, performance tracking through tooling compensation trend analysis, handling of gage standards (rotor simulators, master blades, dummy blades, etc.), recommendations for periodic and preventive maintenance intervals, test recommendations to evaluate rotating tooling performance, requirements for traceable measures (such as torques, runouts, eccentricity, etc.), repeatability characterization, and criteria for return to service.

This document establishes process parameters for gas turbine rotor balancing. Adherence to the recommendations made herein will facilitate attainment of the usually high degree of accuracy and precision required for jet engine rotor balance.
