Ball type automatic balancer is used to reduce the vibration caused by unbalance of rotor. In this study, A analytic modeling of a front loaded washing machine with ball type automatic balancer has been suggested theoretically and ADAMS has been used to analyze the dynamic characteristics of automatic balancer. It is found from simulation and experimental results that the automatic balancer suppress the steady state vibration of washing machine effectively. The test results match with the simulation results of ADAMS, thereby the dynamic model of ADAMS can be used as virtual prototype to predict the vibration characteristics which could be changed by the modification of design variableand can reduce the design cycle sharphy. To maximize the balancing effect of automatic balancer, the friction between balls and race and the deviation between geometric center and rotation center of drum need to be minimized and the optimum design for the stiffness of flange shaft and the angular acceleration of drum should be achieved.

Grinding machine rotating at high speed express the unbalance by the spindle and the weight of grinding wheel. Therefore, the parts requiring a precision processing for grinding machine need acutely to establish of automatic balancer. But the more wheel speed increases the more vibration amplitude increases, surface roughness show the satisfactory according to increase of the wheel speed. Surface roughness of the occasion installing the automatic balancer made better than an occasion no installing the automatic balancer.

It is found from simulation and experimental results that the automatic balancer suppress the steady state vibration of the washing machine effectively. The test results match well with the simulation results of ADAMS, thereby the dynamic model of ADAMS can be used as virtual prototype to predict the vibration characteristics which could be changed by the modification of design variable and can reduce the design cycle sharply. To maximize the balancing effect of automatic balancer, the friction between balls and race and the deviation between geometric center and rotation center of drum need to be minimized and the optimum design for the stiffness of flange shaft and the angular acceleration of drum should be achieved.

Dynamic behavior of an automatic dynamic balancer is analyzed by a theoretical approach. Using Lagrange's equation, we derive the non-linear equations of motion for an automatic dynamic balancer equipped in a rotor with the bending flexibility with respect to the rectangular coordinate. Considering the rotor bending flexibility we analyze out-of-plane vibrations as well as in-plane vibrations of the automatic dynamic balaner. The time responses are computed from the non-linear equations by using a time integration method. We also investigate the effect of rotor flexibility on the behavior of the automatic dynamic balancer

Dynamic behaviors of an automatic dynamic balancer are analyzed by a theoretical approach. Using the polar coordinates, the non-linear equations of motion for an automatic dynamic balancer equipped in a rotor with the bending flexibility are derived from Lagrange equation. Based on the non-linear equation, the stability analysis is performed by using the perturbation method. The stability results are verified by computing dynamic response. The time responses are computed from the non-linear equations by using a time integration method. We also investigate the effect of the bending flexibility on the dynamics of the automatic dynamic balancer.

The Pendulum Automatic Dynamic Balancer is a device to reduce the unbalanced mass of rotors. For the analysis of dynamic stability and behavior, the nonlinear equations of motion for a system including the Pendulum Balancer are derived with respect to polar coordinate by Lagrange's equations. And the perturbation method is applied to find the equilibrium positions and to obtain the linear variation equations. Based on the linearized equations, the dynamic stability of the system around the equilibrium positions is investigated by the eigenvalue problem. Furthermore, in order to confirm the stability, the time responses for the system are computed from the nonlinear equations of motion.

The structural unbalance mass and laundry are the important sources of the severe vibrations of automatic washing machines. In this paper, a mathematical model is developed for the dynamic analysis of the vertical axis automatic washing machines of pulsator-type. In the model, the rigid body motion of tub assembly is represented by six degrees of freedom and the dynamics of automatic hydraulic balancer is represented by one degree of freedom. The fundamental elastic modes of the tub shell and four suspension bars are also taken into account in the mathematical model, based on analytical and experimental modal analysis results. The 12 degrees of freedom equations of motion are derived by using the Lagrange's equations and the present dynamic model is evaluated by comparing the numerical simulation results with experimentally measured data.

In this study, we establish a theory for dynamic behaviors of an automatic ball balancer, analyze its dynamic characteristics, and provide its design guide line. Equations of motion are derived by using the polar coordinate system instead of the rectangular coordinate system which was previously used in other researches. After non-dimensionalization of the equations, the perturbation method is applied to locate the equilibrium positions and to obtain the linearized equations of motion around the equilibrium positions. The Eigenvalue problem is used to verify the dynamic stability around the equilibrium positions. On the other hand, the time responses are computed from the nonlinear equations of motion by using a time integration method.

In this paper, Automatic Dynamic Balancer(ADB) was simulated and investigated to use at the high speed rotating chuck for the friction welding. In the limited computer simulations and experiments that have been presently carried out, several conclusions have been found. Above critical speed of the rotating system, ADB can balance the rotating disk. Therefore, it can be predicted that ADB can make an uniform flash during the friction welding.
