The Hofmann Brothers formed Gebrueder Hofmann in Darmstadt, Germany in 1931, anticipating that balancing would play a crucial role in manufacturing industries. Specializing in the design and manufacture of dynamic balancing machines, they developed the first automatic balancing machine to operate with resonance. As Hofmann´s successes in balancing multiplied, the company expanded its factory and business.
Currently, the Hofmann Balancing Group includes two design and production facilities, along with worldwide support personnel to serve its global business:
American Hofmann´s modern factory in Lynchburg, Virginia houses its design, engineering, manufacturing, and sales teams. Along with our partner company Hofmann Mess-und Auswuchttechnik in Germany and a worldwide network of Hofmann agents, we fully service a global customer base.
Hofmann balancing machines range from simple bench-top models to complex, fully automatic measuring and correction systems. We serve nearly every industry, including the automotive, electric motor, turbocharger, gas turbine, airline, digital media, textile, pump, oil and gas, medical, nuclear, military, and energy industries.
Standard Balancing Machines. Our standard balancing machines include vertical, side-spindle, and horizontal balancers with optional correction systems. PC-based instrumentation offers both standard and optional balancing features with custom applications and multi-language options available. Hofmann portable field balancers enable you to measure both vibration and unbalance, onsite in real operating conditions.
Custom-Designed Balancing Machines and Systems. American Hofmann is recognized globally as the leader in custom-designed balancing machines and systems for unique applications, simple or complex. Modular construction enables reliable, cost-effective balancers with many standard parts. We specialize in applications requiring special tooling and rotor evaluations, as well as high-volume production demands.
Balancing Services. Balancing services include contract balancing, rotor analysis, and training at your facility or ours. We can recondition, test, and calibrate your existing balancer, or improve efficiency with an instrumentation upgrade or retrofit.
Balance can be the difference between the success and failure of your business. That´s why it´s important—no, it is essential—to choose the right balancing company. Hofmann is known for our quality, as well as for quick, expert customer service and support worldwide.
