An accuracy improvement for balancing crankshafts

Due to measurement errors, the final accuracy of rotor balancing may not be satisfied. This study is based on a modified influence coefficient method associated with multi-plane technique for the improvement of accuracy in balancing crankshafts. This method extends the conventional influence coefficient method, in which two trial masses in one balancing plane are employed, to one utilizing three trial masses in one plane. On the basis of three trial runs, the balancing accuracy can then be improved by the optimization of influence coefficient matrices resulting from the minimization of measurement errors. The feasibility of this modified approach is carried out by the verification of accuracy improvement in experiments, balancing two crankshafts.
