Balanset-1A: Balancing made easy and applicable

Rotor imbalance is a frequent cause of equipment failures, second only to bearing wear in frequency. Imbalance can arise from operational loads . While replacing bearings is often the only solution for wear, rotor imbalance can be corrected on-site through balancing, a procedure that is part of vibration adjustment .

Traditionally, this process required comprehensive and expensive vibration analyzers operated by experienced specialists. However, Vibromera has developed the Balanset-1A, a instrument designed to simplify on-site rotor balancing, making it accessible even to personnel with minimal training, including maintenance services .

The core philosophy of Balanset-1A is simple: rotor balancing should be achievable on-site, by anyone, without deep knowledge and without exorbitant costs. Instead of being a secondary function of a multifunctional vibration analyzer, balancing is the primary focus of Balanset-1A. While it includes a basic built-in vibration signal analyzer to detect imbalance and other basic defects, its main goal is easy and convenient balancing.

This focus provides substantial advantages. Balanset-1A is designed for simplicity , allowing users to quickly and effectively eliminate rotor imbalance. This ease of use enables operational staff to take proactive measures in maintaining equipment functionality.

Additionally, Vibromera has made the Balanset-1A exceptionally affordable. Priced at just €1751 , it offers excellent value for money, especially considering the complete package.

The complete package includes:

• Measurement unit: The heart of the system, analyzing sensor data and guiding the balancing process.
• Two vibration sensors: They with high precision capture the rotor's vibrational characteristics.
• Optical sensor (laser tachometer): Used for measuring rotational speed and phase counting .
• Magnetic stand: Provides reliable and flexible mounting of sensors.
• Electronic scales: Necessary for accurate weight adjustment during balancing.
• Software: Intuitive software accompanies the balancing process and provides comprehensive reports.
• Transport case: Ensures safe and convenient transportation of the entire system.

With this complete package, users have everything needed to perform both single-plane and two-plane balancing right out of the box . This eliminates the need to seek additional components and simplifies the setup process.

In conclusion, the Balanset-1A represents a important step forward in making rotor balancing straightforward . By focusing on simplicity and offering a complete and cost-effective solution, Vibromera empowers service crews to effectively eliminate rotor imbalance, ultimately enhancing equipment reliability and reducing downtime. The Balanset-1A proves that with the right tools, even challenging maintenance tasks can be made easy and understandable by everyone .
