The spindle unit is a core part in high precision machine tool. Rotation accuracy of spindle unit is needed for high dignity cutting and improving the performance of machine tool. However, there are many factors to effect to rotational error motion(rotation accuracy). This study studied how rotational error motion is variation when unbalance amount is variation. Rotation accuracy of initial spindle unit is decided depending on parts and assembly such as bearing. When it is rotation, vibration and noise is appeared depending on volume of unbalance amount, so it works to decrease unbalance amount. The purpose of the study tests that unbalance amount how much effects to initial rotation condition. The result of the study shows that accuracy of parts and assembly is highly necessary to reach high rotation accuracy and unbalance amount hardly effects to initial rotation accuracy. However, it shorten spindle's life because vibration and noise is increasing by increasing unbalance amount and we can expect situation that rotation accuracy is falling by long time operation.

In this study, the in-situ parameter identification method for active magnetic bearing (AMB) actuator based on an open-loop balancing scheme is proposed. The scheme utilizes the relation between the compensating voltage and the known unbalance force. Main advantage of this method is that it is easy to use, yet it gives the actuator dynamics on the actual operating condition of an AMB system. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme compensates the known unbalance accurately and consequently identifies the actuator dynamics effectively.

Diagnosis and repair tasks of an unbalanced rigid rotor reduce the chances of unexpected failure and the consequent losses in production, time, and money. This paper presents investigation of a balancing system for equilibration of rigid rotor unbalance. A practical vibration signal based method is developed for unbalance diagnosis using wavelet technology and a Lissajous diagram. This paper shows that a mass unbalance can be efficiently estimated through an appropriate narrow-band filter used to extract the required spectra component. The wavelet technology is used to design specified narrow filter bank. A modified Lissajous diagram is also introduced with statistical analysis to compute the phase position. Several experimental tests demonstrate the effectiveness in balancing the mass unbalance of a rigid rotor.

In recent years, pattern recognition methods have been widely used by many researchers for fault diagnoses of mechanical systems. The soundness of a mechanical system can be checked by analyzing the variation of the system vibration characteristic along with a pattern recognition method. Recently, the hidden Markov model has been widely used as a pattern recognition method in various fields. In this paper, the hidden Markov model is employed for the fault diagnosis of the mass unbalance of a rotating system. Mass unbalance is one of the critical faults in the rotating system. A procedure to identity the location and size of the mass unbalance is proposed and the accuracy of the procedure is validated through experiment.

This paper presents a novel dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) to suppress the unbalance response of flexible rotor-bearing systems. The DVA unit consists of two DVAs, an adapter to place the DVAs and an adapter frame to locate the adapter. The essential feature of the proposed DVA unit is to place itself on any desirable location of the shaft without disassembling the rotor-bearing system under consideration. A simulation with a 3D element based commercial rotor dynamic software is made to test the possibility of the proposed DVA on the suppression of unbalance response in rotor-bearing systems. Experiments are performed to validate the proposed DVA unit. The simulation and experiments show that the proposed DVA unit is very effective to suppress the unbalance response in rotor-bearing system at designated rotational speeds of interest.

In this article, excitation forces due to unbalance mass in a flywheel energy storage system will be discussed, which mainly consists of a composite flywheel and active magnetic bearings and a motor/generator. Unbalance mass causes moments as well as centrifugal forces to the center of the flywheel when the flywheel rotates. The moment excites the flywheel to revolve in the shape of conical revolution and in real operation, the flywheel shows an aspect that conical revolution is a main mode when system failure occurs. Although there are several excitation sources to the flywheel including unbalance mass, an excitation from motor and control issues of the magnetic bearings, we could infer unbalance mass is the main cause of the failure from a comparison between a composite flywheel and a steel flywheel in the same condition. In this of view, excitation forces and moments induced by unbalance mass should be carefully considered in dynamics of the flywheel so that the energy storage system can be operated in more stable conditions.

This paper describes real-time unbalance moment compensation method for line of sight(LOS) stabilization control systems. The factors of system inertia, frictions and unbalance moment affect the control accuracy of drive systems that are equipped to on the move(OTM) platforms requiring LOS stabilization function. In case of the unbalance moment among those factors is continuously changed as variation of relative angle between gravity vector and drive torque vector. Then, consideration of the effect in real-time is very complicate. Therefore, its effect should be designed to be minimized, however, designing it almost zero is impossible in real condition. In other words, it is hard to achieve target performance overcoming stability issue of highly unbalanced systems. To solve these problems, this paper proposes calculation method of unbalance moment by using measured sensor data for LOS stabilization control and its use for control compensation. Also, kinematical converting process and control structure for compensation are explained. The effectiveness of the proposed method as variation of unbalance moment is verified under simulation circumstance modeled by assuming LOS control system with 2-axis gimbal structure.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of rotating unbalance mass on vibration characteristics of the front axle. The power-train systemof the vehicle is composed of several rotating parts. These component parts should be properly balanced by the balancing machine, however,sometimes these have the unbalance mass which causes the critical vibration in the vehicle. Therefore, this study suggests the vibration improvement method based on reducing the unbalance mass through changing the assembly type between the companion flange and the constant velocity joints. In addition, the way to increase the inertia moment of the companion flange was proposed.
