Dynamic
Field and Shop Balancing
We are
experienced in dynamic balancing on-site, or in the shop of Machine Dynamics
Inc. We are equipped to balance almost any type and size of machine, from
pumps to fans, and everything in between.
For shop
balancing we use one of several balancing machines, depending on the rotor
configuration:
- Precision bearing
twin-roller static balancing stand
- Bubble balancer
- Heins 1,000-pound-capacity
dynamic balancing stand with digital readouts
- Schenck-Trebel
micro balancer with digital readouts
For
field balancing on-site we can drill, weld, epoxy, grind, add hardware,
or clip on balance weights. There are no size or speed limitations. If
you can make it spin, then we can balance it to run smoothly. We use the
following instrumentation for on-site balancing:
- DI-2200 Realtime
FFT Analyzer, 2-channel
- HP 3560A Dynamic
Signal Analyzer, 2 channel
- Zonic A&D 3522
FFT Analyzer
- Zonic A&D 3525
Dual Channel FFT Analyzer
- Bently-Nevada Balance
Master
- Bently-Nevada TK-80
Tuneable Filter Analyzer
- IRD 350 Analyzer
