The horizontal and vertical force-measuring balancing machines for the aviation industry are specifically designed for the high-precision balancing of jet engine components. They are used by OEMs as well as MRO providers and meet the strict quality and reliability requirements.
Depending on the application, horizontal machines enable precise balancing of rotors with their own bearing journals, while vertical machines are particularly suited for components without bearing journals, which are mounted via adapters on a vertically arranged precision spindle.
The machines comply with relevant aviation standards such as SAE ARP 4048, SAE ARP 4050, and SAE ARP 5323 and can be equipped with numerous options to meet current and future requirements in jet engine manufacturing and maintenance. Enhancements such as split-shell supports, automated measurement cycles, and specialized software solutions ensure safe and efficient balancing of a wide range of rotors.
Averaging multiple balancing runs reduces the influence of moving blades on the measurement results, ensuring maximum accuracy. At the same time, flexible safety enclosures provide maximum operator protection. Individually designed guarding systems with integrated sound insulation also reduce noise emissions while allowing ergonomic access to the spindle and rotor mounting system.
