Improving theory for automatic balancing of rotating rotors with liquid self balancers

Abstract

Experience of using automatic balancing units shows that existing theories for automatic balancing describe processes with work bodies, particularly with liquids, during their operation with poor accuracy and need to be improved. Besides, there’s a necessity to develop mathematical model, which would describe work of liquid ABU and consider hydraulic properties of liquid. In order to demonstrate the process of self balancing as a whole and analyze contradictions between the theory and the practice, a high-speed video shooting of working bodies behavior is suggested to be used. For this purpose, we have elaborated a testing stand to investigate self balancing process with video and computer techniques applied.
