Abstract

This document establishes general design criteria, tolerances, and limits of application for tooling, fixtures, and accessories for mounting and driving gas turbine engine rotors on horizontal and vertical balancing machines.  Purpose  This document describes tooling and accessories to adapt the engine component to the balancing machine.  This document provides a set of tooling and fixture design parameters for balancing machine tooling that will facilitate the understanding of the high degree of readout accuracy and precision balance required for turbine engine rotors and will assist in achieving compliance with the testing requirements as listed in the applicable ARP specifications for balancing.  Equipment Selection for Specific Applications  The following are determining factors when selecting balancing machine and the required tooling:  • Rotor type  • Rotor size  • Rotor mass  • Rotor moment of inertia  • Rotor windage  • Datum locations  • Datum and/or journal dimensions  • Allowable correction methods  • Allowable correction locations  • Rotor balance tolerance and speed  • Drive method and location of drive interface
