A balancing machine is a measuring

tool used for balancing rotating

machine parts such as rotors for
electric motors
,fans,turbines,disc,brakes,propellers
and pumps .
The machine usually consist of two
rigid pedestals,with suspension and
bearing on top supporting a
mountain platform.

HARD BEARING MACHINE
In a hard-bearing machine, balancing is
done at a frequency lower than the
resonance frequency of the suspension.
A hard-bearing machine is generally
more versatile and can handle pieces
with greatly varying weights, because
hard-bearing machines are measuring
centrifugal forces and require only a
one-time calibration

SO FT BEARIN G M ACH IN E
A soft-bearing machine is not so

versatile with respect to amount of

rotor weight to be balanced. The
preparation of a soft-bearing machine
for individual rotor types is more time
consuming, because it needs to be
calibrated for different part types. It is
very suitable for high-production
volume and high-precision balancing
tasks
