Dynamic Balancing

Excessive vibration in your rotating machinery can cause unacceptable levels of noise and, more importantly, substantially reduce the life of your shaft bearings. Structural damage and general inefficiency are also possible and even failure of your machine. These eventualities could prove to be catastrophic both in cost and down time.

By reducing unbalance on your rotating machines you can minimize vibration and as a result, significantly lower noise levels whilst increasing the life of your bearings.

  • Longer bearing life = Less downtime

  • Less downtime = Increased profit

  • Greater efficiency in your machines = Improved competitiveness.

What is Dynamic Balancing?

Dynamic balancing plays an important part in all rotating machinery.

Unbalance is caused by an effective displacement of the mass centre line from the true axis caused by some mass eccentricity in the unit. The process of reducing the out-of-balance forces that cause vibration in rotating machinery is called "Balancing". The process of "Balancing" is the removal or addition of weight to the unit such that the effective mass centre line approaches the true axis. Dynamic balancing is the use of electonic monitoring equipment to identify and diagnose the correct position and mass sufficient to counteract the inbalance.

What you can do if you feel your machines would benifit from dynamic balancing.
