Which process ensures a propeller shaft runs without vibration?

  • A.Static balancing, which is carried out by supporting the shaft on knife edges and adding weight to the light side
  • B.Machining the tube
  • C.Careful selection of the universal joints so that their masses are matched to within a specified tolerance
  • D.Dynamic balancing with weights welded to the tube

Answer: D

The shaft is spun on a balancing machine and small weights are welded to correct the imbalance in two planes. Static balancing corrects only one plane and is insufficient for a long rotating component. The balance weights must not be disturbed during service. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. Checking the units of each quantity catches a wrong formula before the arithmetic begins.
