Portable Field Balancers and Vibration Test Equipment

Machine vibration is costly. The repeating force to machine components can cause several types of in-service problems, such as:

• Endanger the operational safety of roller bearings
• Shorten the life of roller bearings and other machine components
• Generate very high noise levels
• Damage or loosen machine parts, requiring repeated repair and calibration
• Reduce work quality

Hofmann offers several handheld testers that enable you to measure unbalance and vibration in your machinery, onsite and in field conditions:

• The Mini-Balancer MI 2100 for vibration analysis and field balancing
• The Vibration Analyzer VL 8000 for advanced vibration analysis, machine diagnostics, and field balancing
• The Easy Balancer EB 3100 for balancing grinding wheels, and measuring spindle vibration and speed (specifications, 324 kB pdf)
• The Machine Control MC 1100 for measuring vibration velocity or acceleration, roller bearing condition, and machine rotational speed (specifications, 358 kB pdf)

Using the test results from our portable balancing equipment, you can determine the causes of vibration and unbalance in your machinery, and correct them as needed.
