1972-07-01
HISTORICAL
ARP6239A
This document specifies those requirements of balancing equipment which make it suitable for the subject class of work. It will specify: (a) Sensitivity, (b) Accuracy of indications of amount and angle of unbalance, (c) Ability to separate the Dynamic Unbalance into two planes and to separate Static and Couple Unbalance, (d) Machine capacity relating to weight and physical dimensions of the rotors which can be balanced, (e) Balancing speed of rotation, (f) Standard balancing machine drive adapter flange dimensions, (g) Standard shroud mounting pads, (h) Power requirements.

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.

Balancing Machines - Tooling Management, Audit, and Control

2015-12-21
WIP
ARP6898
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.

Balancing Machines - Verification Test Requirements

2020-08-25
CURRENT
AS8617
This document specifies instructions to verify proper calibration of all balancing machines used for processing gas turbine rotors. Detailed test procedures and test log samples are provided to evaluate the condition of the machine under test. These performance and test requirements may be used for new installations, periodic surveillance, or following repairs that may have affected machine performance. Calibration of the balancing machine is an activity done prior to verification testing and is outside the scope of this document. Troubleshooting of difficulties during the verification tests is also outside the scope of this document; this document is purely an instructive procedure.
