During operational balancing, the unbalance of rotating parts is determined in fully assembled condition and corrected. With the PeakStore5 it is possible to carry out all the nessesary measurements and calculations. And that at variable speed.

The process is simple. Two compensation levels are defined. Then two acceleration sensors and a rotary encoder are installed. Now a first measurement is carried out to determine the initial state. A test mass is then attached to one compensation level and a first test measurement is carried out. This process is then repeated for the second compensation level. Based on this data, the system calculates the compensation masses and the locations of attachment. The system takes into account that the attachment of compensating masses is only possible at certain radii or angles or that masses should not be added but removed. Up to five validation measurements are then possible to gradually minimize the unbalance. Finally, a protocol is generated that documents the entire process and indicates the balancing quality according to DIN ISO 21940-11:2017-03.

The operational balancing module is available as a separate license option for PeakStore5.
