How does the balancing process work in horizontal balancing machines?

The balancing process in horizontal balancing machines consists of a series of steps that are not as complex as the part itself but require a great deal of attention. First, the rotor to be balanced is correctly and securely placed on the machine's bearings using appropriate mounting fixtures and adapters. This step is key to an accurate measurement because the part must be supported in the machine just as it is in its actual operating conditions.

After the part is secured to the machine, the rotor begins to spin. The machine's sensitive sensors detect the vibrations and forces that occur during rotation. This data is analyzed by the machine's advanced software to precisely determine the amount and angle of unbalance in the two planes of the rotor. This information clearly shows the operator how much weight needs to be added or removed and at what point. Once the correction is complete, the part is spun again to check the residual unbalance. This cycle continues until the part falls within the tolerances specified by international standards like ISO 21940. This process ensures the part operates more efficiently and has a longer service life.
