Free software to do rotor balancing

[heitor]

Hello.

I'm looking for a free software able to do 1 plane and 2 planes balancing. Do you know if it exists?

Thank you!

It's not free, but pretty cost effective:

You may have to trade something.

What are you using to gather your vibration and phase data? Most equipment capable of measuring those two essentials has built in balance capabilities.

Thank you for the links.
Actually I need the softwares to validate one that I wrote by myself.
When I do balancing I use non contacting probes to get displacements and a phase transducer built in the motor.
I see that the softwares are really expensive, and I see no reason for this. Maybe I will release my "master piece" as a freeware, it will be able to do multiplane balancing, it is written in Delphi for the user interface and Fortran for the number crunching. Unfortunatelly I won't be able to check the results for more than 2 planes because I have no data for this.

Send me an email (see my profile) and I will send you a demo I recieved while on a balancing course from IRD . Its written in GWBASIC...(1988) how well the 2 plane function works I could not vouch for. Some of the other features I still use on occasion.
