The Z series of standard horizontal balancers is our comprehensive range of precision hard bearing machines.
All machines can be supplied with either belt, cardan drives or a combination of both, as pictured on one of our most popular machines, the ZB750.
Options available
Bed extensions, roller carriages, B or C class guarding, assisted balancing software including drilling – milling – FFT, whip sensor.
Applications
For use in a multitude of sectors for balancing rotors including armatures, fans, pump impellers and rollers.
Technical Information
Our full range offers a great deal of flexibility when it comes to your balancing requirements.
- Weight of symmetrical motor – from 2kgs to 60,000 kgs
- Diameter of rotors – from 150mm to 3,200mm
- Sensitivity – from 0.02 g.mm to 25 g.mm dependent on machine capacity
- Balancing speed (measuring unit) 70-200000 rpm
- Type of drive available – belt and cardan shaft
- Standard length of bed– 400mm to 7,000 mm
- Standard measuring instrument – B11
Superior technology
All machines in the series are hard bearing fitted with piezo force transducers. This solution is the modern evolution of the semi hard bearing system, which is the solution still used today by some machine manufacturers but has the disadvantage of having a more limited range of applications than the forced measuring transducer solution.
Our solution enables rotors with a variety of weights to be balanced through a wide speed range without penalising machine performance.
Our point of difference
In addition to the superiority of our machines, we operate solely from a base in the UK, meaning we can respond to any service or engineering requirements quickly and effectively.
We offer a comprehensive support service including installation and commissioning, repairs, calibration and service plus swift spare parts supply.
From our service centre in Manchester, we also offer a contract balancing services enabling us to fully support our customers whatever their requirements.
