Balancing

Rotating Equipment Dynamic Balancing Workshop -or- In situ

Component unbalance in rotating equipment is the most common cause of vibration.

This can have an adverse effect on installed plant and machinery.

The results can be:

  • Increases in mechanical stresses
  • Premature bearing and component failure
  • Structural cracking
  • Reduced machine efficiency
  • Increase ancillary failure rates
  • Reduced plant reliability

Typical Components that require balancing are:

  • Electric motor rotors and armatures
  • High speed spindle moulders and routers
  • Paper and food rollers
  • Pump impellors
  • Turbine rotors
  • Blowers and fans
  • Critical Gear box components
  • Drive shafts and couplings

The benefits of carrying out precision balancing are:

  • Reduction in rotating machinery vibration
  • Increases in bearing life
  • Increases mean time between failures
  • Machinery and associated ancillary life extended
  • Increased plant reliability
  • Potential reduction in maintenance costs
