Balancing Machines - Description and Selection Horizontal, Two-Plane, Hard-Bearing Type for Gas Turbine Rotors
ARP4048A
This document provides the specifications of horizontal hard-bearing balancing machines, which make such machines suitable for gas turbine rotor balancing.
Rationale:
Hard-Bearing Balancing Machines used to balance Gas Turbine Rotors in the Aerospace Industry have specific requirements that need to be maintained. This document provides these technical specifications required for horizontal rotating type, Hard-Bearing Balancing Machines used for unbalance measurement of Gas Turbine Rotors. The document’s intention is to provide the Manufacturer with the minimum requirements that these machines need to provide and a guide for the specifications required by the End User.
This document has been revised to update the selection criteria and remove the evaluation criteria that is now contained in AS8617.
