something to keep in mind, if there is even a slight imbalance of the shaft itself, that could also cause a false detection of imbalance of the wheel by this method, otherwise I think its pretty good

I would not recommend using the Dubro balancer for balancing EDF rotors. It is only suitable for larger diameter items. Its the worst balancer on the market. Don't believe me? Get yourself a magnetic balancer, balance your rotor on the Dubro, then take it to the mag balancer, you will find the Dubro was WAYYY off!! There are 2 reasons for this. The Dubro shaft is ALWAYS bent. not a single one I have seen has been straight. Second reason, too much friction between the disks and shaft.

its a effective way I'm not saying there isn't other ways but this way doesn't effect the shape of the blades in any way at all

your welcome Just please keep in mind there may be other ways to balance a fan But this is the way I was shown and read about. If someone else suggests something different id keep a open mind however I can vouch for this method because Ive run the fan after balancing this way and it works perfect. Good luck
@TheKenwiesner11 жыл бұрын
that is correct sometime Ya gotta use whats available unfortunately thats all i had at the time. Its far better then trying to run it as badly out of balance as is was before And it did run smooth and true after this balance

Excellent Thanks for commenting If you can come back and comment on how well your fan works now in actual use. It would put a lot of other peoples mind at ease about using this method . Thanks again. :)

I'm wondering if Marine silicone 5200 would be a better choice instead of epoxy, due to its ability to absorb vibrations and not crack/chip off the plastic.
@geneticallyinferior110 жыл бұрын
i find that the dubro balancer is best for larger props. too much friction for something as light as an edf but it's better than nothing. i think a properly set up (highly polished) magnetic balancer is more apt

May I ask what kind of motor you are using on that fan! I have the warhead that HK sells but I heard that the motor don't really survive for to long B4 allowing the holy smoke to escape and then the motor no longer work! By the way I'm using a 2800Kv motor! thanks!
@TheKenwiesner11 жыл бұрын
Thank you Honestly I don't like fans that you have to balance anymore. Its so cheap these days to buy a unit that's already dynamically balanced and that is much more reliable then doing it at home with primitive equipment but if you gt one already that needs some fine tuning This will work well Good luck The 70mm 10 bade has cool sound

Hi, Good video. However, I used marine epoxy for the same slow cure purpose. It stayed just the slightest bit soft even after weeks of curing. The high RPM's of the motor caused the epoxy to fling out and cause the fan to be imbalanced once more.

@kogibankole8 жыл бұрын
how do you disassemble the blades after epoxy set with all that epoxy on it? Did you check the weight of each individual blade with your miligram scale? That shaft could be off center so when you put it on the motor it will be off balance again. You need to balance it dynamically on the motor, you just wasted your time thats a prop balancer

First up it is epoxy it doesn't EVER dry it sets and second its MARINE epoxy and marine epoxy dose NOT run Third if you don't check the balance when your finish then you don't know what balancing means in the first place.

While you watch it spin & come to a stop, I'm going out for some prune juice, K? You don't have to spin the fan AT ALL then wait & wait & wait to show if it's unbalanced. Just set your blob to any position, eg 3 o'clock, 6, 9, 12 -- & release it. If it's unbalanced, the fan will move; if it doesn't move, you're good to go.
