APPARATUS

Usage:

*  To balance the masses statically and dynamically of a single rotating mass system.

*  To   ob ser va tio n   of  e ffec t  of  u nb al a nce   in   a   r o tat in g  ma ss  syste m.

Construction:  The apparatus consists of a stainless steel shaft fixed in a rectangular

frame. A set of four blocks with a clamping arrangement is provided. For static balancing,

each block is individually clamped on shaft and its relative weight is found out using cord

and container system in terms of number of steel balls. For dynamic balancing, a moment

polygon is drawn using  relative  weights and angular  and  axial  position  of  blocks  is

determined. The block are clamped on shaft is  rotated by a motor to check dynamic

balance of the system. The system is provided with angular and longitudinal scales and is

suspended with chains for dynamic balancing.

SPECIFICATIONS:

1  Drive Motor FHP Motor, variable speed, with speed controller

2  Balancing Weight 4 Nos. of Stainless Steel with different sized eccentric Mass for 

varying unbalance

3  Rotating Shaft Material Stainless Steel
