Glossary of balancing technology
There are 14 names in this directory beginning with the letter S.
Sensitivity to imbalances
Measure of the change in the vibration of an (elastic) rotor due to a change in unbalance, expressed by the ratio between the change in the vibration vector and the change in the unbalance vector.
Setting the measuring device
Work to enter rotor and balancing-specific data into the measuring device of a balancing machine.
Setting up the machine mechanics
Work to adjust the mechanics of a balancing machine to the balancing of a rotor.
Side spindle balancing machine
Design of a balancing machine in which the rotor is mounted horizontally overhanging on a balancing spindle
Single-plane balancing
Correction of the mass distribution of a rigid rotor in order to reduce the static residual unbalance to certain limit values.
Single-plane balancing machine
Balancing machine that uses gravity or centrifugal force to balance a rotor in one plane.
Smallest achievable residual imbalance (KER)
The smallest value of residual unbalance that can be achieved with a balancing machine.
Spare rotor (dummy)
Accessories that replace a rotor assembly during balancing. The replacement rotor must have the same main dimensions, mass and rigidity properties as the original part.
Static imbalance
Unbalance condition for which the central main axis of inertia is displaced parallel to the shaft axis.
Step-by-step balancing during assembly
Method for balancing a rotor that consists of several removable components. The unbalance is corrected on the last mounted component until the rotor is complete.
