Uneven weight distribution creates excessive force in rotating equipment. hay grinderThis unbalance results in excessive vibration which causes premature bearing failure, extra energy to operate the machine, annoying shaking and rattling, foundation or structure cracks, or loosening of bolts and mounting.

Product accuracy is affected, safety is compromised, and equipment will need to be replaced sooner than necessary.

Unbalance is common in rotating equipment. Almost all rotating equipment will benefit from Dynamic Balancing at some time simply because so many factors affect weight distribution every day:

  • Manufacture
  • Installation
  • Repair
  • Modifications
  • Combined overall machine levels
  • Speed
  • Material Buildup or Breakoff
  • Wear or Corrosion

Detect the real root cause - Vibration Analysis determines if unbalance is the cause or if other faults are causing excessive vibration. Custom Monitoring prevents damage by detecting unbalance and other faults before vibration is noticeable.
