Скачать или смотреть Dual-Plane Rotor Balancing on a DIY Machine (ISO-Level Accuracy) Turbine project part 5

Balancing a turbine rotor in a single plane is challenging.
Balancing it in two planes is real rotordynamics.
In this video, I upgrade my DIY balancing machine to perform true dual-plane dynamic balancing using the influence coefficient method.
Unlike single-plane correction, dual-plane balancing requires solving a coupled system where correction masses in one plane affect vibration measurements in both planes. This involves:
• Dual accelerometer integration (BMI160)
• ESP32-S3 dual I2C high-speed acquisition at 1600 Hz
• Butterworth band-pass filtering
• Lock-in amplification technique
• Offset calibration with speed compensation
• Experimental identification of influence coefficients
• 2×2 matrix inversion for correction mass calculation
After implementing the full procedure, the system converges in two iterations to correction masses as low as 3 mg per plane.
This project demonstrates that high-precision dual-plane balancing can be achieved with:
• 3D printed mechanical components
• Low-cost MEMS accelerometers
• Proper signal processing
• Correct mathematical modeling
