The whole-beat correlation method for the identification of an unbalance response of a dual-rotor system with a slight rotating speed difference

Identification of the unbalance mass is pivotal in the balancing of a dual-rotor system with a slight speed difference. In the first part, this paper presents the whole-beat correlation method for the whole-machine balancing of the dual-rotor system based on correlation theory. In the second part, an optimized whole-beat correlation method is proposed based on error analysis. In the last part, a balancing experiment is conducted on the horizontal decanter centrifuge, validating the precision, efficiency, and applicability of the recommended method.
