with the Balanset-1A Device

Getting the Equipment Ready

• vibration sensors, optical speed sensor, magnetic base, software package, and included accessories.


• Connect the device to your PC using the USB interface and confirm the software installation.

Setting Up the Sensors

• Attach the vibration sensors firmly to the machine casing in areas with the highest vibration amplitude, usually close to the bearing supports.


• Position the laser tachometer (phase angle sensor) so that it is aimed at the rotor. Attach reflective tape to the rotor for accurate phase angle reading.

Starting the Program

• Initiate the Balanset program on your computer.


• Configure the software for either single-plane or two-plane balancing, based on the rotor's characteristics and the desired outcome.

Taking Baseline Vibration Readings

• Operate the rotor at its intended working speed.


• The application will acquire data on vibration magnitude, rotational velocity, and phase angle to determine the initial imbalance state.

Trial Weight Installation

• Stop the rotor and attach a trial weight at a specific location on the rotor. The weight's mass can be specified within the software (e.g., in grams).


• Resume rotor operation, and the program will capture the resulting changes in vibration amplitude and phase.

Calculating the Correction Weight

• Based on the measured data, the software automatically calculates the correction weight parameters: mass and installation angle.


• The calculated values are presented on-screen in both numerical and graphical formats.

Mounting the Compensating Weight

• Attach the computed compensating weight to the rotor as indicated by the software's output.


• If necessary, perform intermediate checks to verify that the imbalance is being reduced.

Final Check and Balance Confirmation

• Once the corrective weight is in place, restart the rotor and measure the remaining vibration amplitude.


• The balancing procedure is finished if the remaining vibration is within the permissible limits specified in ISO 1940.


• Should the vibration still be excessive, repeat the balancing steps, making further adjustments to the corrective weight as needed.

Creating a Balancing Report

• All balancing results are logged and archived within the software, from which you can produce a printable report summarizing the vibration levels, compensating weight, and its installation position.

Post-Balancing Checklist

• Ensure all applied weights and attached sensors are firmly fixed in their designated positions.


• Check that the rotor's rotation is smooth and free from undue noise or vibration.


• If the rotor is part of a complex mechanism, verify the proper interaction of all its components.

Following this procedure enables accurate balancing, minimizes vibration, and prolongs the service life of the equipment.
