Why Do We Need Balancing Machines That Work at So Many Different Speeds?
The need for balancing machines capable of operating at a wide range of speeds depends entirely on the variety, size, and dynamic characteristics of the part to be balanced. Each part must be balanced at a different speed range, depending on its inherent structure and operating conditions. For example, for small, uniform parts used in mass production, machines operating at a fixed or narrow speed range are generally sufficient. These machines maximize efficiency by repeating the same process repeatedly. However, balancing parts such as large and heavy rotors encountered in industrial environments is much more complex. Because the mass distribution of these parts is not known in advance, balancing is generally started at low speeds and gradually increased speeds to minimize safety risks, collecting unbalance data.
This versatile speed adjustment is crucial for accurately balancing critical parts, especially flexible rotors. Because flexible rotors can deform as they approach their resonant frequency, such machines must be tested at different speeds. At MBS Balans Sanayi, we design our machines with the ability to operate at different speeds. This allows for both precise balancing of small, lightweight parts and safe balancing of large, heavy parts. This flexibility allows businesses to meet a wide range of balancing needs with a single machine, reducing investment costs and increasing operational efficiency.
