Balancing Machines measure and eliminate the imbalance mass of parts or components like turbine rotors, turbines, crankshafts, pump impellers, fans, and blowers, etc. Dynamic Balancing Machines spin the rotor to detect the centre of mass through vibration sensors and rectify them efficiently for optimized performance. Dynamic balancing balances out machines by rotating parts quickly and then measuring the imbalance using electronic equipment. The imbalance calculated then added or subtracted from the weight until the vibration of the parts is minimised.
The benefits of Dynamic Balancing Exercises are:
- Low vibration: unbalance is one of the main sources of vibration.
- Low noise: mechanical vibration also leads to airborne noise.
- Operator fatigue: The exposure to high levels of noise and vibration can affect the efficiency of the operator.
- Bearing life: Balancing the machine can extend the bearing life as it is affected most by unbalance.
- Operator safety: Machine failure is less likely to occur, personal safety is increased.
- Structural stress: vibration associated with unbalance is absorbed by the surrounding structure, having a machine operating in balance will reduce structural stress.
- Operating cost: decrease operating cost as machines operate longer and with fewer problems, you can keep fewer machines on hand.
- Productivity: Well-balanced components are less prone to failure needing less unplanned downtime in your shop. Well balanced motors also last longer and do not require repair as often as unbalanced motors.
