Polar Graph Paper

This document provides instructions for balancing a rotating component using a worksheet and vector analysis. The instructions explain how to: 1) Collect initial "as-found" vibration data and label it as Vector-1. 2) Add a trial weight and collect new data to label as Vector-2. 3) Draw vectors between the initial and trial data points. 4) Use the vectors to calculate the correct balancing weight and location.

Balancing Worksheet: Balancing Instructions:

1. Use outer ring of numbers for


CCW; inner ring for CW
components. Note: phase angle
increases against rotation.
2. Collect as-found data - label it
Vector-1 on the graph
3. Add trial weight
4. Show trial weight location on
graph.
5. Collect trial weight data and
label it Vector-2.
6. Draw 3rd vector from Vector
'1' to Vector '2'. Label it
Vector-3.
7. Draw Vector-4 starting at the
origin and parallel to Vector-
3.
8. Draw rotating vector from
Vector '4' to backside of
Vector '1'. Label it Vector-5.
Use the shortest path. This is
the angle and direction the
correct weight goes with
respect to the trial weight
(remove trial wt). Refer to
Vector-6.
9. Determine correct weight
using the formula below and a
fine scale ruler. Do NOT use
the graph's units.

Length of Vector '1' x Trial wt


Length of Vector '3'

10. Remove trial wt and install the


correct weight.

As found: mils @ deg.

Trial Wt: mils @ deg.

Trial Wt Location: deg.

Units of wt used: grams / oz / lbs
