Limits of use of the balancing machine
Limits of use of the balancing machine

Designated use:
The balancing machine is exclusively destined for balancing rotors. The type
of rotors that can be balanced depends on the balancing machine and the
safety class of the protective device according to DIN ISO 21940-23.
Information about admissible loading of the balancing machine is given in the
operating instructions and under technical data.
Information about the safety class of the balancing machine is to be found on
the protective cover or in the operating instructions.
Balancing machines for rotors with a weight of more than 16 kg require at least
a contact protection independent from the type of test rotors.
Balancing machines for rotors with a weight of less than 16 kg can be operated
without safety device if all test rotors are in safety class A as per DIN ISO
21940-23. If only very small parts can break away from the rotor, an eye
protection or safety glasses provide sufficient protection for this balancing
machine. Make sure that the energy of the flying parts does not exceed the
limits prescribed by the safety standards for safety glasses (e.g. ISO 4849).
In special cases balancing machines with a maximum rotor weight of 16 kg are
equipped with a switch to disable locking of the drive when the guard is open.
This switch can be operated by a key only. If your balancing machine is
equipped with such a key
 ensure that the key is available to authorized personnel only. These
persons must be able to define the safety class of a rotor according to DIN
ISO 21940-23.
 ensure that rotors that are not in compliance with safety class A as per DIN
ISO 21940-23 will never be balanced while locking of the drive is disabled
and the guard is open!
Use for non-designated purposes

Any further use is considered to be unintended use. This especially applies to
balancing rotors not covered by the safety class of the balancing machine.
Unintended use of the balancing machine will cause danger for man and
machine.

2 – SH-7721-ENG-V3A © SCHENCK RoTec GmbH, Darmstadt

2.2 Accident prevention

In addition to the following instructions, the valid laws for accident prevention,
the EC Directives for work places and working equipment and any other valid
relevant regulations (e.g. VDE, IEC, DIN, EN etc.) must be observed.
Apart from the following instructions, comply with the regulations for the
prevention of accidents, the EEC directives for working place and working
equipment as well as all other pertinent standards (e.g. VDE, IEC, DIN, EN
etc.).
These obligations can also concern the handling of dangerous substances or
making available/carrying of personal protection equipment or motor vehicle
regulations. Safety instructions and danger signs on the machinery/installation
must always be readable and complied with.
2.3 Technical monitoring

Our machines are fitted with pressure accumulators, where necessary. These
are either hydraulic oil accumulators with air cushions, or compressed-air
storage vessels. These pressure vessels are subject to the approval and
inspection procedures laid down by the competent approval and monitoring
authorities.
In Germany, the competent Technical Inspection Authority is the Technische
Überwachungsamt (TÜA) or Technische Überwachungsverein (TÜV). In the
other EC member countries and in the rest of the world, approval and
monitoring are performed by a comparable authority, or alternatively, the
approval by the German supervisory authority is accepted. The extent of the
approval and inspection obligations is laid down in Germany in the Pressure
Vessel Ordinance and in the Technical Rules for Pressure Vessels.
SCHENCK RoTec GmbH will supply the necessary documents for the "initial"
test. This comprises, e.g., preliminary test, construction test, and pressure test.
The "acceptance test" at the site of installation is an official inspection of the
design and installation of the pressure vessel, which has to be conducted by a
duly authorized expert. This test has to be arranged for by the user of the plant.
Commissioning of the vessel is not permitted until the test has been completed.
Further periodic inspection and maintenance procedures are laid down in
Germany in the Pressure Vessel Ordinance, and are normally specified by the
supervisory body. Sometimes, however, these tests have to be arranged for by
the user.
Failure to comply with the provisions of this ordinance may result in the user
being made responsible under criminal law in case of accidents.
2.4 Technical documentation

Whenever working with or on the machine, the person performing the work
must be acquainted with and have access to the technical documentation. The
contents of the technical documentation must be strictly adhered to. The
technical data and information regarding the proper use of the machine for its
intended purpose, which is contained in the order documents, the technical
documentation and on the respective data plates, and in other documents,
must be observed at all times.

2.5 Personnel
The user must ensure that only qualified personnel is entrusted with work
relating to the machine (e.g. operation, handling of tools, service, maintenance
and monitoring).
The responsibility of the machine operator must be defined - also as far as
motor vehicle regulations are concerned - and he must be put in a position to
refuse instructions from third parties, which might jeopardize safety.
Staff that has to be trained, instructed, or is practising or undergoing a general
training is allowed to work at the machinery/installation only under constant
supervision by an experienced person.
Such work on or in the vicinity of the machine must not be undertaken by
unqualified personnel. The term qualified personnel means persons authorized
by the person responsible for the safety of the plant to carry out the required
work, on account of their training, experience and instruction, and on the basis
of their knowledge of the applicable standards, specifications, accident
prevention rules and operating conditions. When performing this work, they
must be able to recognize and avoid possible dangers (cf. DIN/VDE 0105 or
IEC 364).
Work on the hydraulic, electrical, gas-fueled system must be carried out only by
Specialized personnel.
2.6 Personal protection equipment

Wear adequate personal protection equipment, i.e. protective goggles, working
gloves, safety shoes, etc., particularly when handling workpieces (loading,
unbalance correction, etc.). During unbalance correction with lead weights,
working gloves are compulsory, in order to avoid skin contact. Avoid wearing
ties, loose clothing, jewellery, and long hair. Injury may result from being caught
up in the machinery or from rings catching on moving parts.
2.7 First aid

Accidents may happen even to experienced operators. Familiarity with first aid,
and with the local accident and emergency services is therefore required. Make
sure that nobody is left alone while performing dangerous work, so that
somebody can render first aid or call for assistance in the case of an
emergency. A first aid box should always be within reach.

2.8 Protection and safety systems

Existing regulations require that the machine be operated only with proper
protection and safety equipment. These facilities must be connected at all
times. The safety systems include: Master switch, "Emergency Stop"
switch/electrical safety interlocks and couplings, and other systems (electrical
circuits) with a protection functions.
All protection devices must be firmly attached, in such a way that it can only be
dismantled with the help of appropriate tools. The protection equipment
comprises: Safety fences and enclosures, surroundings, railings, wire mesh
guards, protective covers, thrust devices, and workpiece guards. Do not
overide these systems or render them ineffective. If protection systems are
provided by the user himself the following considerations should be taken into
account in their design:
Specific requirements for protective enclosures for balancing machines are laid
down in DIN 45690/ISO 7475.
Protection devices in compliance with this standard (normally safety class B)
are included in the scope of supply, unless otherwise specified in the supply
contract. Should your range of workpieces and thus the danger potential
resulting from rotors/specimens be modified, we kindly ask you to inform us
accordingly. Safety requirements may alter in this case and we will offer the
necessary solutions.
Unless otherwise specified in the technical documentation, safety systems and

enclosures must be checked at least once every month.
Should you provide protection devices by your own …

 We point out that any claims against us are excluded and that you are
obliged to release us from claims of third parties should the machine be
operated with insufficient protection devices.
 We point out that conformity with valid European directives must probably
be established.
 Please observe during design our separate instructions, e.g. “Protection

devices for machines” etc.
2.9 Working and danger zones

Working and danger zones must be permanently marked by coloured bands,
notices, markings on the floor, or other clear notices. During machine
operation, nobody is allowed to remain within the machine's danger area. Only
duly instructed and qualified staff is allowed to remain within the machine's
working area.

2.10 Electrical equipment

Inspect/check the electrical equipment of a machine/installation at regular
intervals. Defects, such as loose connections or scorched cables must be
removed immediately.
Prior to commissioning the machine, check all accessible cables for naked
wires or damaged insulation. Take steps to protect cables from hydraulic fluid
and excessive temperatures.
All cable connectors must be firmly seated in their intended sockets. Screwed
connections must be firm and undamaged.
When replacing terminal boxes, make sure that the cable inlet points
downwards, and is properly sealed. Damaged seals of PG cable glands and
terminal boxes must be replaced immediately.
If specified in the provisions, machine and installation components subject to
inspection, maintenance and repair must be deenergized. First check that the
disconnected components are dead, then ground and short-circuit them as well
as isolate adjacent live components!
Electrical components must only be installed and serviced by skilled

electricians, who are familiar with the applicable regulations.
Electrical components become hot during operation. Avoid the risk of fire:
 Do not place any objects in or on the switch cabinet. They can prevent heat
dissipation and catch fire.
 Always keep the switch cabinet closed. With the doors closed, a fire will
usually extinguish itself. If smoke escapes from the switch cabinet: Actuate
the fire alarm and follow your work’s instructions.
2.11 Hydraulic and pneumatic equipment

Prior to machinery/installation commissioning, all rigid and hose pipes as well
as union pieces must be checked for leaks and externally recognizable
damage. Replace the component as soon as damage is detected.
Replace a hose as soon as there is visible damage. Check hose unions and
screw joints for leakages.
Replace hydraulic hoses within stipulated and appropriate intervals even if no
safety-relevant defects have been detected.
Splashes of oil may cause injuries and fire.
Before beginning with repair, unpressurize system sections and pressure pipes
that must be opened.
Lay and install hydraulic and pneumatic piping expertly, do not confuse the pipe
connections. Fittings, length and quality of hose pipes must meet the
requirements.
2.12 Bolted connections

All bolted connections must be tightened with the prescribed torque. This is
particularly important after maintenance and repair work, during which
components have been dismantled or replaced. For information regarding the
required torque, please refer to VDI 2230 (Publishers: Beuth Verlag, Berlin).

2.13 Ventilation
Adequate ventilation of the place of installation of the machine must be
ensured by the user. Any vapours occurring (e.g. hot hydraulic oil, evaporation
of drilling fluid) as well as dust (e.g. grinding dust) must be extracted, since
they constitute a health hazard.
2.14 Humidity and moisture

All parts of the machine, particularly current-carrying components, must be
protected from moisture and extreme humidity. If components were exposed to
water in spite of all precautions, stop power supply to the machine immediately
by actuating the master switch.
2.15 Smoking and naked lights

Smoking and naked lights are not permitted in the area around the machine
due to the danger of oil or cable fires. The only exception to this rule is, e.g.,
welding or grinding work which is required for repair purposes. In this case the
machine has to be shut down, and suitable fire-extinguishing equipment has to
be provided.
The personnel must be familiar with the location and operation of fire
extinguishers. Observe all fire-warning and fire-fighting procedures.
2.16 Cleanliness
Keep the machine and its working area in a clean and tidy condition. Oil
leakages, or fine, sandy grinding dust will form a highly dangerous, slippery
surface. Machining swarf may cause cuts. Workpieces, machine components
and containers left lying around may also constitute a serious danger.
Clean the machine, especially connections and threaded unions, of any traces
of oil, fuel or preservatives before carrying out maintenance/repair. Never use
aggressive detergents. Use lint-free cleaning rags.
2.17 Spare parts

Spare parts must correspond to the manufacturer’s specifications. This is
always assured with original spare parts.
Use only spare parts recommended by SCHENCK RoTec GmbH. Parts not
tested may reduce the reliability of the machine, and necessitate shorter
maintenance intervals. In addition, they will result in warranty claims becoming
null and void.

3. Safety rules
In all work related to operation, change in production, retooling or setting of the
machinery and its safety-relevant devices as well as inspection, maintenance
and repair, activation and deactivation procedures specified in the operating
instructions and the instructions listed below must be followed.
3.1 Prior to commissioning

Prior to commissioning the machine, make sure you are familiar with all its
functions and characteristic features. Also make sure you know the area of
movement and danger area of the machine. Above all, acquaint yourself with
the specific danger points of the machine. These are, for example, …
 Transport equipment
 Rotating spindles, shafts, axles, journals
 Tools
 Clamping elements
 Crushing points between moving and stationary components
 Separators, pulling-in points, and feeder equipment
 Advance systems
 Belt and chain gear
 Spindle sleeves, guide elements, etc.
 Conductive components
Get familiar with the safety devices. Please check …
 position of operating and EMERGENY STOP pushbuttons as well as their

function;
 whether working and danger areas can clearly be recognized;
 whether unauthorized operation is excluded.
Whenever working with the machine or equipment, the accident prevention

rules applicable for the user must be observed. Compliance with these
regulations for the prevention of accidents is the user's responsibility. All work
has to be carried out in accordance with generally accepted technical practices.
Otherwise, our General Delivery Conditions shall apply.
Observe all safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine/plant.
See to it that safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine are
always complete and perfectly legible.
Safety regulations and instructions for machine components not delivered by

SCHENCK RoTec GmbH, but linked to the machines delivered, must be
observed additionally.
The following instructions essentially relate to balancing and testing machines.

For other machines, only the applicable information must be taken into
account.

3.2 Conduct during operation

Operation comprises switching, measuring, and testing, observing the test run,
as well as the feeding and conveying of workpieces, materials, tools, etc.
It is imperative during machine operation that the operating instructions be

observed. For reasons of clarity, these cannot claim to cover all details of
possible equipment variations, nor can they provide for every possible case of
installation, operation, or maintenance. The instructions for the machines
therefore normally include only the instructions required by qualified personnel
when using the machine in an industrial application for its defined purpose. In
case of uncertainty, contact the responsible SCHENCK RoTec GmbH service
center.
Apart from the operating personnel no other persons must be present in the
immediate vicinity of the machine during operation. Before switching on the
master switch and the control voltage, check that …
 … everybody has left the danger zone of the machine. Keep strangers who
have no business to be at your workshop place away from the machine.
 … all units have been fixed, correctly set-up and are in their home position
and that the correct clamping elements, workpiece-dependent parts and
tools have been mounted.
 … the protective and safety equipment has been installed and is ready for
use. Make use of the safety tooling delivered. Before securing a safety area,
make sure that all persons have left that area.
 … all screws of the balancing, unbalance correction and drive units have
been tightened.
 … the belt and chain drives have the correct tension and are not worn.
 … in the case of direct current drives, no excessive speed is to be

expected.
 … the speed and load of the machine has been selected in accordance with
the performance data. Overloading is not permitted.
 … Pipelines for compressed air, lubricating and hydraulic oils do not have
leaks, loose pipe connections, abrasion points or are damaged.
 … all current conductors have been adequately insulated and are intact.
Do not come close to a rotating part or to a moving machine part. The moving
machine parts are usually identified in colour in compliance with the valid
regulations.
Use the machine only in accordance with the intended purpose and within the
scope of the specified data. This applies also for the protective devices, which
are designed for a specific hazard.

In case of balancing machines, in addition the following is valid …
If the machine is designed for variable speeds, and the amount of unbalance of
a rotor is not known, the lowest speed which still produces a measurement
should be selected first. Following this, the measured unbalance must be
corrected. Now a higher speed can be chosen for a check.
When correcting the unbalance by addition of material (e. g. welding, soldering

etc.), the correcting weights have to be fastened securely. This applies
especially to the temporarily attached weights needed for calibration. Do not
switch on the drive until the firm attachment of the weights has been checked.
When correcting the unbalance by removing material (drilling, milling, grinding

etc.) there will be chips or flying sparks and it is therefore necessary to wear
suitable protective clothing.
Balancing machines are measuring instruments and are, therefore, subject to

the requirements of DIN ISO 10012. The specified requirements must be met
by the user with regard to quality assurance for measuring instruments. This
includes the set-up of an acknowledgement system for measuring instruments.
Check and document calibration of the machine in reguilar intervals.

Depending on the field of application of the rotor, the procedure must be
repeated daily, weekly or monthly.
This is especially valid if unbalance correction is not made directly and if the
result of unbalance correction is checked by means of a second measuring run.
Calibration can be check only by means of calibration runs together with the
addition of test and/or correction weights.
Please observe the additional instructions in this documentation.
3.3 Conduct in case of problems

Deviations from the normal performance indicate that the proper function of a
unit is impaired. This applies also for failures of the energy supply of the
machinery/installation. Signs are, for example, higher power consumption,
variations of speed, elevated temperatures or vibrations, unusual noises or
odours, or the tripping of monitoring equipment.
To prevent interruptions or break-downs, which may directly or indirectly lead
to injuries of personnel, or damage to property, the following measures must be
taken …
 Switch off the machine immediately (emergency stop, if required)
 Notify the responsible maintenance or repair personnel
 Take all other measures outlined in the following chapters

3.4 Conduct during maintenance work

Maintenance comprises the external cleaning of easily accessible points, the
internal thorough cleaning, also necessitating the dismantling of parts,
supplying the lubrication points with lubricant, and changing the lubricant, as
well as the periodic inspection, i.e. the scheduled inspection for detecting faults
or defects which have occurred or are imminent.
Adhere to prescribed intervals or those specified in the operating instructions

for routine checks and inspections.
Only qualified, instructed and authorized persons must be entrusted with

carrying out this work.
Open maintenance doors only if it is assured that no hazardous movements
are performed by the machinery / installation.
In handling oil, grease or other chemical substances follow the product safety
instructions. Use hot fuels and fluids with caution because of the risk of burns
or scalding.
Prior to performing maintenance work …

 Clean the machinery / installation, particularly pipe connections and union
pieces, from oil, fuel or detergent.
 Isolate the machinery or installation from any source of energy and protect
it against accidental reactivation:
G disconnect the machine or equipment from any energy supply
whatsoever, i.e. isolate all electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and/or
pneumatic equipment from the electical power supply. This can be done,
for example, by opening the master switch, in which case, however,
cables between the power feed and the master switch will still carry
current.
G Lock main control devices and pull out the key and/or apply a danger
sign to the mains switch / main control panel.
If the user of the machine has special regulations in force necessitating the
control of the machine being designed in such a way that this requirement
cannot be observed, the user is responsible for entrusting skilled and
competent personnel with the task of ensuring that suitable safety measures
are carried out. In this case the "Emergency Off" button must be pressed, or
the control voltage switched off.
After completion of the work, start-up of the machine is not permitted until
responsible, skilled staff has checked that …
 … the protective and safety equipment has been re-installed and is ready
for use.
 … everybody has left the danger zone of the machine.
 … all other measures stipulated in chapter “prior to commissioning” have

been taken.
Clean the machine, especially connections and threaded unions, of any traces
of oil, fuel or preservatives before carrying out maintenance/repair.

3.5 Conduct during set-up and repair work

Set-up comprises all activities necessary to render the machine or the
equipment functional for a certain operation, e.g. calibration, tool change etc.
Repair means any change in the condition of the machine, with a view to
restoring the working order or intended condition of the machine.
If damages due to wear or for other reasons occur on the machine let it repair
immediately, especially in case the damage reduces the reliability of the
machine.
Only skilled and competent personnel having the necessary expertise and
knowledge for carrying out this job must be entrusted with carrying out this
work.
This means in particular:

G Repair work may be performed only by specialized staff with sound
pertinent knowledge in machinery maintenance and repair.
G Work at the electrical equipment of the machinery is to be performed
only by an electrician or an instructed person under the supervision of an
electrician in accordance with electrotechnical regulations.
G Only staff with specific knowledge and experience with hydraulics is to
work at the hydraulic equipment.
G Before beginning with maintenance, inform the operating staff and
appoint the supervisors!
Adequate workshop equipment is absolutely necessary to perform

maintenance.
We would recommend requesting the support and services of the responsible
SCHENCK RoTec GmbH service center for all repair jobs.
Never make any modifications: additions or conversions which might affect

safety without the approval of SCHENCK RoTec GmbH. This also applies to
the installation and adjustment of safety devices and valves as well as to
welding work on load-bearing elements. Never modify the software of
programmable control systems.
Prior to commencing the work,
 secure the working area with a red-and-white safety chain and a warning
sign.
 Clean machine or installation, and particularly pipe connections and union
pieces, from oil, fuel and detergent.

 disconnect the machine from all energy supply. In particular the following
steps must be taken:
G …Disconnect electrical power supply. This can be achieved, for
example, by opening the master switch, in which case, however, the
cables between the power feed and the master switch will still be
carrying current.
G …Switch off compressed air supply.
G …Depressurize compressed air supply.
G …Depressurize pressure accumulators.
G …Switch off coolant and cooling water supply.
In addition …
 … Prevent accidental movement of all movable units (lifting tables, transport

equipment, feeding units etc.) (e.g. by means of wedges, strips of timber or
similar).
 … Take steps to make absolutely sure that the machine or machine

components cannot be switched on during the work (e.g. fit a padlock to the
master switch, apply a danger sign to the mains switch / main control
panel).
 … If necessary, remove protective devices.
 … Take steps to ensure that shut-off and actuating valves cannot be

operated accidentally.
 For carrying out overhead assembly work always use specially designed or
otherwise safety-oriented ladders and working platforms. Never use
machine parts as a climbing aid.
 Carry out welding, flame-cutting and grinding work on the machine/plant

only if this has been expressly authorized, as there may be a risk of
explosion and fire. Clean the machine/plant and its surroundings from dust
and other inflammable substances and make sure that the premises are
adequately ventilated.
Should it become necessary to ignore certain work protection and accident

prevention regulations in order to carry out set-up or repair work or to eliminate
faults, the user must take adequate safety measures and must entrust the work
to competent and skilled personnel, capable of recognizing and preventing
potential dangers. The work is to be carried out with the utmost care.

If work must be performed on live components, the following is applied:
 Make sure that a second person is present who, in case of emergency can
actuate the emergency stop or the mains switch with voltage trip. Use only
insulated tools.
 Control cabinets may be opened only by authorized staff.
 Terminals that are live when the mains switch is deactivated, are covered.
Reference is made to the presence of voltage.
 Disconnect plug connectors between electrical equipment and control

cabinets only in absence of voltage.
 Use only original fuses with the specified current intensity!
 Bear in mind that there is still voltage on the illumination of the control
cabinet and service sockets.
When conducting work on the hydraulic or pneumatic equipment and when

opening the pipe system, first check and remove any residual pressure left in
the system. Make sure that fittings and pressure gauges are intact. Open the
system with utmost care, since a minimal residual pressure may still be present
or hot oil may emerge from the pipes (in case of hydraulic systems).
During replacement, individual components and bigger assemblies must be

fastened safely to the lifting equipment in order to avoid risks. Use only
adequate and technically perfect lifting equipment as well as load suspension
devices with sufficient carrying capacity. Do not stop or work under hanging
loads.
Upon completion of the work the machine must not be switched on again until
responsible skilled personnel has checked that ...
 … the protective and safety equipment has been re-installed and is ready
for use.
 … everybody has left the danger zone of the machine
 … tools and equipment required have been removed.
 … all other measures stipulated in chapter “conduct during operation” have

been taken.

4. Special requirements when handling printed circuit

boards
Semiconductor devices and printed circuit boards fitted with such devices must
only be handled and tested at a workplace fitted with special protection
equipment against static electricity.
Prior to touching the components, discharge static electricity by putting on the

earth bracelet. Avoid directly touching connections and contacts.
Only use low-voltage soldering irons with high-ohmic earth connection, and
anti-static soldering exhausters.
Semiconductor devices and printed circuit boards fitted with such devices must
be transported and stored in anti-static devices (e.g. manufacturer's packaging
material).
Prior to replacing circuit boards, always disconnect the power supply.

1. Definition, use
In balancing, master rotors, calibration and test rotors are used as working
resp. test standards for the purposes of calibration or qualification of the
balancing machine.
Master rotors simulate an ideal workpiece and are employed to measure and
compensate the influences of the balancing planes on each other in cylindrical
workpieces and also to calibrate the size of the unbalance indication in general.
Setup rotors are used in a way which is similar to the use of master rotors,
however, the quality demands are not that high.
Test rotors are used, in addition to the above-mentioned applications, for
standardized tests in accordance with ISO 2953 (UMAR = minimum achievable
residual unbalance, unbalance reduction ratio) or in accordance with SAE
ARP4048.
Master and test rotors as well as test masses can be designated as test
equipment within the meaning of ISO 9001, with direct influences on the quality
of the product. They must be identifiable and have to be inspected at specified
intervals or prior to each use.
2. Construction, identification
Master and test rotors consist of a basic body, which is made out of an
original workpiece or
manufactured as a
completely new part. In
defined positions, this basic
body is provided with
threads, in which the test
masses may be attached.
The test masses (also
referred to as test weights)
are used to generate a
defined unbalance.
(1) Example of a universal test rotor for horizontal In addition, bias weights (e.g.
balancing machines
bobweights on crankshafts)
are required in many cases,
in order to simulate masses
which do not yet exist at the
time of balancing.
System-inherent unbalances
in unsymmetrical rotors are
compensated during the
balancing process by master
weights.
(2) Example of a master rotor with bias weights (V8

crankshaft) made out of an original piece
2 - BE-32954-ENG-V2 © SCHENCK RoTec GmbH, Darmstadt

All components have to be tuned exactly to each other to form a complete

set of test equipment which ensures the required testing accuracy.
All components must be identified with a clear marking (e.g. test equipment
number) to prevent mistaking them and enable their correct functioning to be
proved by means of the test equipment management of a quality
management system.
3. Handling
All components of test equipment (master rotors, test rotors, bias weights
and test weights) must be handled with utmost care. Any damage leads to
measuring deviations and thus to incorrect machine adjustment.
÷ Keep the test equipment in a safe place and protect it from dirt. For this
purpose, the original container in which the part was supplied is an
appropriate option (wooden case, metal box).
÷ Also keep the pertaining documentation (drawings, test records,

certificates of acceptance) as evidence for your quality management
system.
÷ Protect the test equipment from mechanical damage:

G Do not drop any part of test equipment.
G Do not grind any notches into the pieces, do not polish or smooth any
surfaces without subsequent checking of the required characteristics.
÷ Protect the test equipment against corrosion:

G Lubricate bright surfaces slightly with oil.
G Store the components in a dry place.
G Avoid contact with aggressive media.
G Make sure no paint chips off the surface.
Should you detect any signs of mechanical damage, corrosion or

contamination on test equipment, this means that the characteristics might
no longer correspond to the specification. The affected piece of test
equipment should be checked with appropriate procedures immediately (see
section 4).
© SCHENCK RoTec GmbH, Darmstadt BE-32954-ENG-V2 - 3

4. Periodical inspection
Test equipment is subject to wear. For this reason, the characteristics must
be checked at regular intervals - even if there is no obvious damage. These
characteristics include, among others, the following:
– State of unbalance resp. position of centre of gravity

– Geometry
– Mass of the test masses
– Repeatability when test and bias weights are mounted
– Mass of the rotor (in certain cases)
A qualified inspection usually has to be carried out by an laboratory with

procedures and means which can be traced back to measuring standards
which are recognized on a national or international level.
As far as the balancing machine is concerned, the requirements laid down in
DIN ISO 10012 with regard to quality assurance of working resp. test
standards have to be observed by the user as well. These include the
creation of a verification system for measuring resp. test equipment.
Document the status of test equipment by a complete test equipment
management system.
Dependent on the frequency of utilization the test equipment should be

inspected in time intervals of 1 year to max. 4 years. The user is responsible
for determining and observing an appropriate interval for a periodical check.
We can carry out an independent inspection of master and test rotors, bias
and test weights in our Testing Laboratory for Balancing Technique, which is
accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
The inspection is based on traceable processes and is documented by
reports with different quality levels:
A. Inspection certificate (Test report acc. to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025)
B. Inspection report (Inspection certificate 3.1 acc. to DIN EN 10204)
C. Inspection protocol acc. to SCHENCK standard
In case of questions regarding the qualification of your test equipment please
