Single-Plane Balancing Calculator
Calculate correction mass and angle with the trial weight method and see the vectors on a polar plot.
The calculations we use in the field every day, now in your browser. No sign-up, no install — your data never leaves your device.
Calculate correction mass and angle with the trial weight method and see the vectors on a polar plot.
Calculate correction weights for both planes from two bearings and two trial runs.
Single-plane balancing from vibration amplitude only: fit the trial weight at 0°, 120° and 240° and get the correction weight.
Split two-plane correction weights into static and couple (moment) components to see the type of unbalance and whether one plane may be enough.
Calculate permissible residual unbalance (Uper) from balance grade (G), rotor mass and speed.
Find the right balancing machine type, capacity class, number of planes and target residual unbalance for your rotor, and learn how the machine types differ.
If a correction weight cannot be placed at the required angle, split it between two adjacent holes or blades.
Answer five questions; we rank the likely causes of the vibration and suggest the right service.
Compare the waveform and spectrum signatures of unbalance, misalignment, looseness, bearing and gear faults.
Watch the vibration magnification factor and phase shift change with speed for a given natural frequency and damping.
Evaluate your measured mm/s RMS value in zones A/B/C/D by machine group and foundation type.
See the natural frequency, damping and free response of a single-degree-of-freedom system with a live animation.
Draw the shaft centreline orbit from two orthogonal proximity probes with 1X and 2X components and see forward or reverse precession.
Build a machine signal from 1X, 2X, 3X, a subsynchronous component, bearing impacts and noise; see the waveform, spectrum, crest factor and kurtosis.
See the amplitude error, leakage and noise bandwidth (ENBW) of Hann, Hamming, flat-top and other windows with a real FFT.
See the sidebands, envelope and waveform created when a carrier is modulated by another frequency; the basis of gear and bearing diagnostics.
See and hear the beat created when two vibrations of close frequency overlap; compute the beat period and the highest and lowest amplitude.
Mix and listen to three sine tones; see the time waveform, FFT spectrum, crest factor and beat frequencies.
Calculate belt pass frequency, pulley speeds, gear mesh frequency and sidebands.
Calculate BPFO, BPFI, BSF and FTF from bearing geometry and speed, and see them on a spectrum.
See permissible offset and angularity by speed and evaluate your measurement.
From dial indicator readings, work out offset and angularity at the coupling and the shim and horizontal moves at the front and rear feet of the moving machine.
Frequency-dependent conversion between displacement, velocity and acceleration; peak, peak-to-peak and RMS.
Convert length, force, pressure, power, energy, torque, velocity, flow, frequency and temperature units in one table.
Compare the cost of an unplanned failure with a planned intervention, using your own numbers.
These tools are intended for preliminary assessment and training. Decisions on critical equipment should be based on on-site measurement and expert evaluation.
Tell us the equipment type, speed and the symptom you observe; we will plan the measurement and site visit together.
Hello, I am Apex Assistant. Ask about balancing, vibration or predictive maintenance; I can point you to the quote form when needed.
Answers are AI-generated; technical decisions need on-site measurement.
