Balancing of Rotating Masses at Same Plane


1. Four masses A, B, C and D are 200 kg, 300 kg, 240 kg, and 260 kg respectively. The
corresponding radii of rotation are 0.2 m, 0.15 m, 0.25 m, and 0.3 m respectively and the angles
between successive masses are 45, 75 and 135. Find the position and magnitude of the balance
mass required, if its radius of rotation is 0.2 m.
2. A circular disc mounted on a shaft carries three attached masses of 4 kg, 3 kg, and 2.5 kg at
radii distances of 75 mm, 85 mm, and 50 mm and at angular positions of 45, 135, and 240
respectively. The angular positions are measured counter-clockwise from the reference line
along the x-axis. Determine the amount of the counter-mass at a radial distance of 75 mm
required for static balance.
Balancing of Rotating Masses at Different Planes
3. Four masses A, B, C and D are completely balanced. masses C and D make angles of 90 and 195
respectively with that of mass B in the counter-clockwise direction. The rotating masses have the
following properties: mb = 25 kg; mc = 40 kg; md = 35 kg;
ra = 150 mm; rb = 200 mm; rc = 100 mm; rd = 180 mm
Planes B and C are 250 mm apart. Determine the (i) mass A and its angular position with that of mass
B and (ii) positions of all planes relative to the plane of mass A.
4. A shaft carries four masses A, B, C and D of magnitude 200 kg, 300 kg, 400 kg and 200 kg
respectively and revolving at radii 80 mm, 70 mm, 60 mm, and 80 mm in planes measured from
A at 300 mm, 400 mm and 700 mm. The angles between the cranks measured anticlockwise are
A to B 45, B to C 70 and C to D 120. The balancing masses are to be placed in planes X and Y.
The distance between the planes A and X is 100 mm, between X and Y is 400 mm and between Y
and D is 200 mm. If the balancing masses revolve at a radius of 100 mm, find their magnitude
and angular positions.
5. Four masses A, B, C and D as shown below are to be completely balanced.
A B C D
Mass (kg) - 30 50 40
Radius (mm) 180 240 120 150
The planes containing masses B and C are 300 mm apart. The angle between planes containing B and
C is 90, B and C make angles of 210 and 120 respectively with D in the same sense. Find: (i) the
magnitude and the relative position of mass A; and (ii) the position of planes A and D.
6. A, B, C and D are four masses carried by a rotating shaft at radii 100, 125, 200, and 150 mm
respectively. The planes in which the masses revolve are spaced 600 mm apart and the mass of
B, C and D are 10 kg, 5 kg and 4 kg respectively. Find the required mass A, and the relative
angular settings of the four masses so that the shaft shall be in complete balance.

7. A shaft carries four masses in parallel planes A, B, C and D in this order along its length. The
masses at B and C are 18 kg and 12.5 kg respectively, and each has an eccentricity of 60 mm.
The masses at A and D have an eccentricity of 80 mm. The angle between the masses B and C is
100 and that between the masses at B and A is 190, both being measured in the same direction.
The axial distance between the planes A and B is 100 mm and that between B and C is 200 mm.
If the shaft is in complete dynamic balance, determine: 1. The magnitude of the masses at A and
D; 2. the distance between the planes A and D; and 3. the angular position of the mass at D.
8. A shaft is supported in bearings 1.8 m apart and projects 0.45 m beyond bearings at each end. The
shaft carries three pulleys one at each end and one at the middle of its length. The mass of end pulleys
is 48 kg and 20 kg and their center of gravity are 15 mm and 12.5 mm respectively from the shaft axis.
The center pulley has a mass of 56 kg and its center of gravity is 15 mm from the shaft axis. If the
pulleys are arranged so as to give static balance, determine: 1. relative angular positions of the pulleys,
and (ii) dynamic forces produced on the bearings when the shaft rotates at 300 r.p.m.
9. Four masses A, B, C and D revolves at equal radii and equally spaced along a shaft. The mass B is 7
kg and the radii of C and D make angles of 90 and 240 respectively with the radius of B. Find the
magnitude of masses A, C and D and the angular position of A, so that the system may be completely
balanced.
Partial Balancing of Reciprocating Masses in Locomotives
10. The three cranks of a three cylinder locomotive are all on the same axle and are set at 120. The pitch
of the cylinder is 1 m and the stroke of each piston is 0.6 m. The reciprocating masses are 300 kg for
inside cylinder and 260 kg for each outside cylinder and the planes of rotation of the balance masses
are 0.8 m from the inside crank. If 40% of the reciprocating parts are to be balanced, find: 1. the
magnitude and the position of the balancing masses required at a radius of 0.6 m; and 2. the hammer
blow per wheel when the axle makes 6 r.p.s.
11. An inside cylinder locomotive has its cylinder center lines 0.7 m apart and has a stroke of 0.6 m. The
rotating masses per cylinder are equivalent to 150 kg at the crank pin, and the reciprocating masses
per cylinder to 180 kg. The wheel centre lines are 1.5 m apart. The cranks are at right angles.
The whole of the rotating and 2/3 of the reciprocating masses are to be balanced by masses placed at a
radius of 0.6 m. Find the magnitude and direction of the rotating masses.
Find the fluctuation in rail pressure under one wheel, variation of tractive effort and the magnitude of
swaying couple at a crank speed of 300 r.p.m.
12. The following data refer to two cylinder locomotive with cranks at 90: Reciprocating mass per
cylinder = 300 kg; crank radius = 0.3 m; driving wheel diameter = 1.8 m; distance between cylinder
center lines = 0.65 m; Distance between the driving wheel central planes = 1.55 m.
Determine: (i) the fraction of the reciprocating masses to be balanced, if the hammer blow is not to
exceed 46 kN at 96.5 kmph; (ii) the variation in tractive effort; and (iii) the maximum swaying couple.
