Abstract
A Self-compensating liquid balancer is proposed, which consists of the vessel contains liquid available to compensate for rotor unbalance, and the vessel provides four sets of suction pipe and reservior. Under the centrifugal field the liquid moves through the pipe from the side of the unbalance mass to the reservior located on the symmetrically opposite side. The liquid balancer was confirmed experimentally to be useful for the balancing of rotor over the critical speed, and the whirling amplitude after balancing decreases to almost constant value in spite of the location and size of unbalance.
