Patent number: 11060941Abstract: In a method for determining an equivalent modal unbalance for the first bending characteristic form of a shaft-elastic rotor, which unbalance is to be compensated for, a rotor model is created describing the geometric shape and material properties of the shaft-elastic rotor. The magnitude of compliance of the rotor model is calculated at a measurement point and at the center of gravity of the rotor at an assumed speed. The shaft-elastic rotor is received in a rotatable bearing and accelerated to the assumed speed which is below its first critical speed. Subsequently, the magnitude of outward deflection at the measurement point of the shaft-elastic rotor rotating at the assumed speed can be measured. The equivalent modal unbalance for the first bending characteristic form of the shaft-elastic rotor, which unbalance is to be compensated for, can be calculated from the magnitudes of the calculated compliance and the measured outward deflection.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Schenck RoTec GmbHInventors: Thomas Wanke, Matthias Hartnagel
