Economy Balancing Machines

Hofmann Quality Balancing at a Lower Cost

In addition to our standard horizontal balancing machines, Hofmann provides several horizontal economy designs for rotors weighing from .2 kg to 1200 kg. Hard-bearing technology and force-measuring transducers ensure extremely accurate and sensitive unbalance measurement in one or two planes.

Depending on the rotor features and your process needs, these lower-cost balancing machines may be used for universal applications including armatures, precision spindles, shafts, pump impellers, blowers, fans, turbines, rollers, and other applications requiring high-precision balancing.
