3. Balancing pulleys
Step 1
Pulley mounted with its shaft is
go ahead to roll on two smooth and
hard parallel horizontal shafts or knife-
edges as shown in figure . The pulley
rolls such that heavy spot rolls to the
bottom due to gravity force. Some
amount of material is removed at the
high mass portion by drilling. The
amount of unbalance of mass is
unknown, but its location is known. By
trial and error, material is slightly
removed until no portions of excess
mass on the pulley favors the bottom.
The balanced pulley could be rolled
into any position and released, it would
remain stationary there
4. Step 2
This stage is more accurate than the previous one.
Summarized by taking read of sensor 1 which mounted
on one of drive shaft without pulley or any faults (healthy
condition), at 1500 rpm, then assembled the unbalance
pulley which want to balance it, and also taking reads at
1500 rpm the different between the two reads gives
Indicate how much unbalance fault. unbalance condition
gives at horizontal direction (x-direction of sensor)
sinusoidal waveform (time domain spectrum) and gives
peek at 1X (25Hz) in FFT spectrum, the height of this peek
directly proportional with the amount of unbalance mass
as described in the centrifugal laws. To reduce this height
the excess mass must be equalized. For this purpose will
use small pieces of magnets as shown . By adding these
small masses on different positions until the signals of
waveform and FFT spectrum becomes like at healthy
condition. After reaching the balance state, each opposite
points of magnets positions will punch and drill in equal
mass. The result of this process shown.
