Balancing Procedure
MAN TURBO AG

Impeller individually balanced before assembling onto shaft Material removed from hub or shroud discs Remaining unbalance with zero marked Shaft stacked with 180 offset of zero markings of different impellers Assembled rotor high speed balanced under Vacuum Now only weights added not removed.
