This equipment is
designed for carrying out the experiment for balancing a rotation mass
system. 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.
SCOPE OF EXPERIMENTATIONS:
To balance the masses statically and dynamically of a single
rotating mass system.
To observation of effect of unbalance in a rotating mass
system.
UTILITIES REQUIRED:
Electricity 0.5 kW, 220 V, Single Phase
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
Drive
Motor
FHP Motor, variable speed, with speed
controller.
Balancing
weight
4 Nos. of Stainless Steel with different sized
eccentric mass for varying unbalance.
