How to Balance a Rotor/Fan/Impeller

[@flyboy1171]

Thank you for the very obscure very useful content. Exactly what I was looking for

[@johnvine5731]

Why did you not show it balanced on the lawnmower blade balancer? Did you get it balanced?

Thanks for the video

I think you made the same mistake I did on that screw with my Grizzly dust collector. Check the direction that the motor rotates. It's probably a left hand thread so the screw doesn't get loosened up by the torque. I actually considered that when mine wouldn't come loose and tried turning it CW, but it was tight enough that I assumed that wasn't it and went back to CCW and ultimately broke it. Mine had just barely enough of a nub left for visegrips to get it. There are screw extractor bits for that, but unfortunately, I'd guess they're all designed for regular right hand threads. - Hope things worked out.

Yeah it could have been that. I ended up taking it to a machine shop and somehow they were able to drill it out and retap.

Great tip. Thanks for sharing.

I appriciate man ,nice one thank you.

or you could add counter weights on the higher side to balance it out ;)

Seen it 100 times! A dropped motor attached to a blade or rotor runs like crap. Remove rotor blade, remove motor!!!! Re-install motor to case, then put blower-wheel back on. The motor is so heavy that when dropped, the motor receives a tremendous amount of shock and transfers the shock force to the small screws holding the motor against the case. That's probably why rotor was scuffing the case and leaving witness marks as the miss-aligned rotor or motor caused rotor to spin at a couple of degrees from 90 degrees.

so you pretty much did a static balancing...cant go wrong with that!

Hi lightning stalker

[@bigcatdairy]

the alignment of the blades seemed to be in correct, lol

This could've been a 60 second video
