with the Balanset-1A Device

Equipment Preparation

• accelerometers, laser rpm sensor, mounting stand, software application, and additional tools.


• Set up the instrument and connect it to your computer via USB. Verify that the software is correctly installed.

Mounting the Sensors

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


• Aim the optical rpm sensor at the rotating shaft and apply a reflective strip to the shaft for phase angle data acquisition.

Launching the Software

• Initiate the Balanset program on your computer.


• Choose the correct balancing method (single or two-plane) according to the rotor configuration and the balancing task.

Measuring Initial Vibration

• Run the rotor up to its operating speed.


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

Mounting the Test Weight

• 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).


• Restart the rotor, and the software will record the changes in vibration level and phase angle.

Determining the Corrective Mass

• Using the acquired measurements, the program automatically determines the required corrective weight's mass and angular position.


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

Installing the Correction Weight

• Mount the calculated corrective weight onto the rotor at the specified location and angle.


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

Final Check and Balance Confirmation

• With the compensating weight attached, operate the rotor and assess the level of any residual vibration.


• If the vibration level is within acceptable limits (according to ISO 1940), the balancing is complete.


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

Generating a Documentation of the Balancing Results

• 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

• Double-check that all weights and sensors are securely fastened.


• Ensure the rotor rotates smoothly and without excessive noise.


• In cases where the rotor is integrated into a more complex system, ensure the correct operation and interaction of all related components.

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