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
