Horizontal Balancing Machines
Series HT

Range of application
Universal balancing machines series HT are ideally suited to extremely small work-pieces such as miniature armatures, miniature fans and complete assemblies. They are conceived for use in research and development, in batch production or in repair shops.

Change-over to new rotor types is straightforward and only requires a minimum of time. Unbalance correction is made manually by addition of material (e.g. balancing plasticine) directly on the machine or by removal of material on optional manually operated or semi-automated machining units.

Design

• Hard-bearing, horizontal balancing machine with permanent calibration for standing or seated operator.
• The complete workplace consists of the following major components: machine table, mechanical balancing unit comprising roller bearings or V-blocks, belt drive, measuring instrument and control system.
• The machine can be installed without foundations and without bolts and is immediately ready for operation.

Special features

• Space-saving single-unit design with integral measuring station and measuring unit.
• Easy to operate through permanent calibration – requires no calibration runs.
• Correction in two planes or sepa-rate according to static and couple unbalance is possible.
• Rotors can be mounted on their original shafts or on mounting arbors, complete assemblies can be installed in their housing.
• Automatic measuring cycle with infinitely variable settings for acceleration, measuring and braking time.

Turbochargers, wood processing tools, and vacuum cleaner brushes can be balanced on this machine in small batches and with frequently varying rotors types. Whether in repair and maintenance or in the production of one-of-a-kind work-pieces: Series HT balancing machines enable even less experienced staff to achieve accurate balancing results within a minimum of time.

Important considerations for the selection of machines for balancing in volume production, apart from the rotor data, are the rate of production, batch sizes, the variety of types and the quality level required. Manually operated machines such as the HT 0 B Twin are an efficient solution for medium batch sizes and unbalance correction by material addition.

The variable drive system can be adapted to the requirements of the application on hand. Overslung, underslung or tangential belt drive are available. In addition other important parameters such as direction of rotation, speed, starting torque or acceleration or braking times can be set precisely.
