Strong vibration of the smoke exhauster is a direct threat to the equipment and foundation. We'll tell you how Elektromotors engineers eliminated it by balancing the smoke exhauster rotor in Tashkent.
Situation
The boiler room smoke exhauster worked with strong vibration. The bearings had to be changed more and more often, and there was a threat of the mount being destroyed. Replacing the bearings gave only a temporary effect.
Diagnostics
Vibration diagnostics showed that the reason was not in the bearings, but in the imbalance of the rotor with the impeller - due to uneven adhesion of soot and wear.
Solution
- Cleaning the impeller from deposits.
- Balancing the rotor on the machine.
- Replacing worn bearings.
- Vibration control after assembly.
Result
| Indicator | Result |
|---|---|
| Vibration | Within normal limits |
| Bearing life | Restored |
After balancing, vibration came back to normal, and the bearings stopped failing. The key was to eliminate the cause - the imbalance, and not the effect.
