Range of application

Universal balancing machines series HM6-HM80 are conceived for precise balancing of both rigid and flexible rotors

Typical applications are :

Blowers and fans for a variety of industries

High-speed and low-speed rollers for paper and thin sheet production

Electrical short-circuit armatures and generators for the electrical industry

Separators / centrifuges for water processing

Design

Due to their modular structure, these machines can be adapted easilyto the task in hand. The length of the machine bed is dependent on thelength of the rotor; the required height of the bearing pedestals isdetermined by the rotor diameter. If the rotor is mounted on its wonbearing journals, these will be supported by roller carriages.Depending on the requirements imposed by the rotor, sleeve bearings mayalso be used. Rotors requiring high torques are driven throughvariable-speed gearboxes and universal joint shaft. Lightweight rotorswith smooth surfaces may be driven with the help of a belt drive system.

Special features

• With the appropriate machine design and a suitable protection device the machines can also be used for high-speed balancing
• Bearing force monitoring for automatic shut-down in case of overload
• No contact measurement of concentric running of rollers
• Graphical display of acceleration curve with 1f and 2f measurement (CAB690)
• Wide range of supplementary modules, e.g. for mass correction
