Development Of Mass Balancing Apparatus:- Okeke Micheal C
ABSTRACT
Mass
imbalance in a system damages the machine, reduces the life span and increases
failure of the machine. In this research, Solidworks software was used to
design and analyze the machine. Locally sourced materials such as shaft,
pulley, bearing, mass block, control box, electric motor, angle iron, etc were
used in the fabrication of the machine. The fabrication processes employed
include welding, cutting, drilling, fastening and spraying. Performance
evaluation test conducted shows that the distance and angle of the mass block
from a reference point must be taken into consideration in order to balance the
machine. The results obtained show that in addition to less noise and vibration
of the system, both the centrifugal force value and that of the couple are zero
indicating that the system is statically and dynamically balanced.
