Turbine Balancing Machines

Precision Horizontal Balancing Machines for Gas Turbine Applications

Hofmann "Model J" horizontal balancing machines are designed to balance jet engine assemblies and components, and gas and steam turbine rotors from 35 pounds (16 kg) up to 66,000 pounds (30,000 kg). The machine work supports combine the extreme accuracy and sensitivity of hard-bearing technology and force-measuring transducers. This combination produces unequaled results in turbine balancing applications.

Features:

• Two-plane, force-measuring, hard-bearing balancing machine
• Permanent calibration - no need to calibrate for different rotor weights and speeds
• Industrial pc-based instrumentation using Microsoft^® Windows^® operating oystem
• Operating software uses Windows menu system for simplicity of setup and operation
• Network connection
• Statistical analysis software included
• Various standard software features including electronic zeroing, auto range, multi-run averaging, and tooling compensation
• Optional safety enclosure for the balancing machine, meets OSHA and CE requirements
