IN SITU MOTOR COOLING FAN BALANCING:

1) The Overall Vibration levels are higher at Motor NDE compare to DE and decide to do
balancing on Motor Cooling Fan.
2) Motor Cooling Fan Inspected and found the Weights abserved with different locations on
cooling Fan. So, the same weights was removed from motor cooling fan. Refer Fig:1

Fig:1 Before balancing Motor cooling fan weights loaction.

Units:
Balancing Units: Velocity mm/sec RMS
Balance Sensitivity grams

3) INTIAL RUN: Table:1

Horizontal 6.4 mm/s @ 297degrees
Motor NDE
Vertical 8.5 mm/s @ 67degrees
Horizontal 4.4 mm/s @ 297degrees
Motor DE
Vertical 5.1 mm/s @ 82degrees

4) TRAIN RUN:
Trail Weight 39grams added @ 67degrees from Reflective tape in Fig:2

Table:2 After Trail Run, 1x Vibration amplitude reduced was observed.

Horizontal 2.6 mm/s @ 295degrees
Motor NDE
Vertical 5.2 mm/s @ 69degrees
Horizontal 2.3 mm/s @ 287degrees
Motor DE
Vertical 2.4 mm/s @ 81degrees

Fig:2 Trail Weigt Added Loaction.

5) Removed Trail weight and Correction weight 73grams Added at same location @ 67degrees
from reflective tape in Refer fig:3. The unbalance force significant reduced was observed.
Refer table:1 and 3.
Table:3 After Correction weight
Horizontal 0.9 mm/s @ 142degrees
Motor NDE
Vertical 0.7 mm/s @ 210degrees
Horizontal 0.9 mm/s @ 120degrees
Motor DE
Vertical 0.9 mm/s @ 259degrees
