Balancing Tutorial

The document is a tutorial on balancing rotating shafts with multiple masses, detailing calculations for required balance masses, out of balance forces, and dynamic loads on bearings at various rotational speeds. It includes specific problems involving different masses, radii, and angular positions, requiring the determination of balance mass positions and magnitudes. The tutorial also addresses the effects of misalignment and faulty mounting on dynamic loads in shaft systems.

BALANCING TUTORIAL

1. A shaft carries two rotating masses of 1.5 kg and 0.5 kg attached at radii 0.6 m and 1.2 m
respectively from the axis of rotation. The angular positions of the masses are shown in
figure 1. Find;
a. The required angular position and radius of rotation r of a balance mass of 1 kg.
b. If no balance mass is used what is the out of balance force on the shaft at 120
rpm.
B
0.5 Kg
1.2 M

O 1.5 Kg
0.6 M A

2. Four masses m1, m2, m3 and m4 are 200 kg, 300 kg, 240 kg and 260 kg respectively. The
corresponding radii of rotation are 0.2 m, 0.15 m, 0.25 m and 0.3 m respectively and the
angles between successive masses are 45 o, 75o and 135o . Find the position and
magnitude of the balance mass required if its radius of rotation is 0.2 m.
3. Four bodies A, B, C and D are rigidly attached to a shaft which rotates at 8 rev/s. The
bodies are all in the same plane and the masses and radii of rotation together with their
relative angular position are
Body Mass (kg) Angle Length (m)
(degrees)
A 1 0 1.2
B 2 30 0.6
C 3 120 0.3
D 4 165 0.15

Find the resultant out of balance force on the shaft and hence determine the magnitude
and position of the balance mass required at 0.6 m radius.

4. A shaft is supported in bearing at A and B as shown in figure 2. A rotor of total mass 30


kg is mounted at a point 0.6 m from bearing A. Owing to faulty mounting the centre of
gravity of the rotor is offset 3 mm from the axis of rotation O. Calculate the dynamic
loads on the bearings when the shaft rotates at 600 rpm. Calculate also the maximum and
minimum loads on the bearings.
5. The shaft shown in figure 3, carries two masses at C and D in the same axial plane but
diametrically opposite to one another. Calculate the dynamic loads on the bearings when
the shaft rotates at 144 rpm, Each mass is 3kg at 600 mm radius.
