Case Histories in Balancing of High Speed Rotors

Abstract

Three case histories concerning rotor balancing problems from practice are described in detail. These case histories refer to problems in which the cause was rotor unbalance and/or unsuitable rotor dynamic conditions. In each instance, a diagnostic phase preceded the eventual corrections made to the system. These cases demonstrate both the diagnostic techniques used, and the successful corrections made.KeywordsCase HistoryCritical SpeedHigh Speed RotorGenerator RotorUnbalance ResponseThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
