The stability of active balancing control using influence coefficients for a variable rotor system

摘要

High-speed rotating machines can be very sensitive to rotating mass unbalance that is a major source of harmful vibration for many types of rotating machinery. A balancing procedure is therefore needed for all high-speed rotating systems. To save the time and cost of off-line balancing, many researchers have developed on-line balancing devices and methods. In this paper, an active balancing device, which is of an electromagnetic type, has been developed and an active balancing method using the influence coefficient method is proposed. The stability of active balancing control is studied in this paper. A stable condition for active balancing control is derived by estimating the errors of influencing coefficients. A gain scheduling control using influence coefficients of the standard model is proposed when the dynamic characteristics of a rotor system are changed. The stability of the balancing method is verified by experiments.
