Hi everyone!
I need some advice. My centrifuge is showing significant vibration with no load. I can't determine the heavy spot. I spun the drum so that it stopped with the heavy spot at the bottom and placed a weight on top. After this, the drum no longer stops with the heavy spot at the bottom, and the vibration improved slightly, but it's still noticeable.
I inspected the bearings and replaced one because it had play. The vibration reduced slightly, but the issue remains. How can I eliminate the vibration?
I’m considering purchasing balancing instruments, as I also have a mower and drying fans. I studied instruments under $5000: Vibromera, ADASH, ACEPOM322 (Chinese). What else should I consider?
Thanks in advance for your help!
