Abstract
A balancing method for use in a multiple-span rotor shaft system for a prime mover, such as a large-capacity, large-sized steam turbine and generator. A balancing influence coefficient representing the relationship between a unit weight and the resultant vibration, when the aforesaid unit weight is attached to a given balance-correcting plane of a multiple span rotor, is first determined, and then a balance-correcting plane, to which is to be attached a balancing weight, is selected, then a balancing weight is determined so as to minimize the value of the residual vibration amplitude, by using the method of least squares, which values are dependent on the value of the vibration amplitude, influence coefficients and balancing weights. Thus, a weight corresponding to the aforesaid balancing weight is attached to the aforesaid balance-correcting plane to reduce vibrations in a shaft.
