Developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the purpose of the SAE ARP 4050 standard is to define the technical specifications of vertical, rotary-type, rigid-bearing balancing machines for measuring the amount and angle of balance corrections required in one or more transverse planes to balance gas turbine rotors. Briefly, this standard describes the features of vertical rigid bearing balancing machines that make the machines suitable for gas turbine rotor balancing.
This standard includes:
Proving rotors and related test masses required for performance tests are included in the SAE ARP 4162 standard.
This standard describes test procedures in detail and provides examples for evaluating test results.
While preparing this standard, the ISO 588 standard published by the International Standards Organization (ISO) together with the SAE ARP 2953 standard and the existing fixed bearing balancing machine technology were taken into account.
The SAE ARP 4050 standard was developed for hard bearing balancing machines, but is also used for existing soft bearing balancing machines.
Rigid bearing machines have been used for gas turbine rotor balancing for years. These machines have largely replaced the soft bed machines. Rigid bearing machines have advantages such as simpler start-up, start-up reading, easy adaptation to computer programming and permanent calibration. It also eliminates support locking requirements and wind surges.
The SAE ARP 4050 standard also includes performance tests to ensure compliance with the standard.
This standard contains a general description of balancing equipment capable of balancing gas turbine rotors in service or in future service, and is also used as a general specification for purchasers in the supply of suitable vertical biplane balancing machines.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our company provides vertical, biplane, rigid bearing type balance machine testing services for gas turbine rotors within the scope of SAE ARP 4050 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment. also gives.
