Vertical Dynamic Balancing Systems – Isolating Repeatability Issues in Challenging Applications

2021-05-26
WIP
ARP8911
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.

Balancing Machines - Description and Evaluation Horizontal, Two-Plane, Soft-Bearing Type for Gas Turbine Rotors

2012-12-17
CURRENT
ARP587C
The specific performance requirements preceding each test in Section 9 have been written to define certain characteristics of the machine. Conformance with the tests constitutes what is considered minimum proof that the machine will meet these requirements. The test procedures will not prove conformance with all requirements over the full range of all variables, neither will they measure nor define the exact reasons for nonconformance in a given test. Failure of a machine to conform may be due to shortcomings in specific components or to more general reasons such as lack of ruggedness, improper leveling or anchoring to the floor, etc.
