Rockwell Automation 1441-DYN25-MBAL Balancing Extension Module for the Dynamix 2500 - Manual (Page 5)

Rockwell Automation Publication 1441-UM004A-EN-P - May 2011 5
Preface
This manual describes the Balancing extension module for the Dynamix 2500
data collector. You install the extension module with the Balancing Secure Digital
(SD) card.
See Installing Optional Extension Modules on page 7 for installation
instructions.
The balancing test determines the amount and location of the heavy spot on a
rotating shaft so that you can balance it with an equal amount of weight in the
opposite direction.
There are three types of measurements in the balancing process:
• Initial Vibration
• Trial Weight
• Residual Measurements
Optional Extension
Modules These are the optional extension modules for the Dynamix 2500 data collector:
• 1441-DYN25-4C, 4-channel Activation (1)
The 4-channel activation lets you take 3- and 4-channel magnitude, time
waveform, spectra, and Offroute measurements.
• 1441-DYN25-MBMP Bump Test
A bump test (or hammer test) determines the natural frequencies of a
machine or a structure.
• 1441-DYN25-MBAL Balancing
Balancing application resolves single-plane, two-plane, and static-couple
balances with high precision.
• 1441-DYN25-MFRF Frequency Response Function
The FRF test lets you determine the natural frequencies of a machine as
well as sophisticated information about the frequency response of the
structure being tested.
• 1441-DYN25-MREC Time Recorder
The Time Recorder test uses a the instrument as a data recorder for real-
time data acquisition and analysis.
• 1441-DYN25-MRUC Run Up Coast Down
The RUCD test records and analyzes data from intermittent events and
transient vibration signals from non-steady state machines.
