Vertical Balancing Machines

Hofmann vertical balancing machines are known for reliability and absolute accuracy. Their well-engineered design combines a high-precision spindle with the consistency of a hard-bearing support system using piezoelectric transducers. These are mounted in a well-engineered, sturdy housing, which protects the measuring components and prevents vibration from influencing unbalance readings.

Hofmann vertical machines meet a wide range of balancing requirements. Features include the following:

Standard machines available for a wide range of rotor diameters and sizes (from 10 grams to 600 kg), special machines for larger rotors
Manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic operation
Single-plane or two-plane measurement
Universal or custom tooling ( rotor clamping adapters)
Manually or pneumatically (drawbar) actuated
Safety guards to meet OSHA or other safety regulations, either manually or automatically operated
Pneumatically operated spindle clamp
Different types of integrated correction systems like drilling, welding, and weight addition

Hofmann vertical machines are ideal for rotors with bores for locating them on the tooling, such as disc-shaped rotors (for example, flywheels, gears, fans, pump impellers, and clutches).
