Don’t underestimate the balancing operation!

Importance of the balancing operation is often underestimated.

This key process is though determining to ensure your whole machine lifetime: it’s a necessary precaution (in discs, cord regulators, spindles and motor spindles assembly) to avoid numerous types of breakage but also a safety measure for your staff.

Are you sure that you can trust your balancing process?

What about the reliability of the repairs you are proposed to buy?
Can you trust the balancing quality of the
third-party?

People wrongly think that balancing is a superfluous, or even unnecessary stage…

And yet, this is a determining step to lower noise and vibrations, extend your machine lifetime and thus save maintenance costs.

As operating speeds increase, forces resulting from unbalance cause nonsymmetrical rotation. The results are harmful vibration, increased chatter, surface damage and excessive wear on the cord regulators, discs and spindle bearings.

Lifetime extension:

Vibrations due to unbalance can heavily affect cord regulators, discs, spindles and motor spindles, leading to very fast wear of the whole equipment. Machines that include inadequately balanced components often have a shorter service life.

Quality & competitiveness

Vibrations considerably prejudice the quality of production.

Conversely, a smooth, quiet and silent running is more and more considered as a quality indicator.

Consequently, excessive vibrations can significantly impair a product’s competitiveness.

Safety for your staff and plant:

Vibrations can diminish the friction holding bolted and clamped connections and may result in components working loose.

Vibrations can cause various kinds of breakage and malfunction on electrical switches and cable connections.

Unbalance can thus jeopardise the machine’s safety and endanger both staff and machine.

Keep in mind that a careful balancing process can eradicate forces caused by unbalance, disagreeable noises and vibrations.

Balancing is indeed a process which improves the mass distribution of a rotor, so that it can rotate in its bearings without generating excessive free centrifugal forces, it ensures that rotating forces acting on the bearings are reduced to a minimum.

We obviously use the latest generation of balancing machines, but we overall benefit from skilled staff and legendary know how: a correct balancing requires a very precise know how of the different processes and techniques that guarantees a durable and fine balancing. Our staff is used to the different methods of balancing, and handles this stage with the indispensable care and experience.

All our repairs of spindles, motor spindles, cord regulator and discs include this key operation

Each new part is carefully balanced and checked before delivery.
