Balancing the fan impellers

In a recent project, the first-generation Balanset-1 device was employed for the precise task of balancing a squirrel-cage fan wheel. While newer Balanset-1A models come in more compact aluminum cases, the original Balanset-1 still proves to be a reliable and effective tool for such specialized tasks. The balancing process was carried out in four crucial steps: Initial Vibration Measurement: The first step involved assessing the initial vibration level of the squirrel-cage fan wheel to establish a baseline for the balancing procedure. Calibration and Test Weights: The Balanset-1 device was used to set up test weights and measure the resulting Read more…

Example Mulchers

Mulcher rotor balancing

Balancing the rotor of a Ferri mulcher installed on a Hitachi excavator is a critical procedure aimed at vibration reduction and overall equipment longevity. So, what could be the root causes of rotor imbalance and its ensuing vibration? Using Balanset-1A for rotor balancing ensures a hassle-free experience. 1. Mass Difference in Cutters: It is advisable to balance the mulcher with new cutters, as the mass difference between a new and an old cutter could be as much as 500 grams. Given that a single mulcher may have between 30 to 50 of these, the imbalance could be significant. 2. Extreme Read more…
