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.
