Manually operated balancing machines

Manual balancing machines are flexible and precise devices for balancing small to large rotors, from shafts and fans to drums and rollers. They work precisely and efficiently and can be flexibly adapted thanks to their modular design – perfect when versatility, ease of use, and economical operation are key. Depending on the area of application, Schenck offers manual horizontal, vertical, and static balancing machines.

The Pasio series offers high-precision imbalance detection and accurate balancing, thanks to expertly coordinated components like machine beds, drive systems, and control units. With advanced mechanics and measurement technology, residual imbalances are minimized to 0.1 gmm to 1.5 gmm per plane, ensuring maximum precision.

Designed for quick setup, easy integration, and ergonomic operation, these versatile balancing machines have a small footprint for flexible placement in your factory. They feature Schenck ONE software for reliable, transparent balancing, and an intuitive user interface that enables error-free operation, tool-free changeovers, and efficient workflows.

The HM series universal balancing machines offer high precision and flexibility for balancing horizontally mounted rotors, suitable for small workshops and high-volume manufacturers alike. Their modular design and wide range of accessories allow customization for single rotors or small series, ensuring long-term investment value.

These machines can be equipped with different drives: the belt drive (BU) provides smooth operation and versatility, while the shaft drive (U) offers higher power, allowing for adaptable and efficient balancing solutions.

Virio vertical balancing machines are ideal for disc- or pot-shaped rotors without shafts, such as brake discs, impellers, fans, and flywheels. Their clamp system on a precision spindle allows quick handling without special auxiliary shafts. Permanently calibrated, Virio balancing machines enable simple balancing: insert the rotor, input data, start measurement, and perform balancing—all in a few steps. Unbalance values are displayed early, eliminating lengthy calibration.

Designed for practicality, Virio offers flexible, cost-effective solutions for workshops, repairs, or series production, ensuring efficient, reliable rotor balancing.

Schenck is the global leader in high-speed specialized balancing systems for large power plant turbines, generators, high-speed compressors, industrial steam and gas turbines, and the complex testing of engine components in the aerospace industry. Through ongoing collaboration with our customers, we continuously enhance our DH series. These high-speed balancing and overspeed testing facilities are engineered for testing turbines, generators, and compressors at operational speeds. The Schenck CABflex3 measurement system is employed in these setups to precisely balance and analyze the behavior of flexible rotors.

Proper balancing is key to profitability. With nearly 50 years of experience, Schenck RoTec is a leader in the aerospace industry, specializing in testing critical rotating components for satellites, rockets, engines, and electric motors. Our machines, moment weighing scales, and Bladis 4 software reduce rotor vibrations, thereby increasing the service life and efficiency of engines. Schenck Tooling offers ergonomic and effective solutions for rotors in the aerospace industry.

Our horizontal balancing machines comply with SAE ARP 4048 standards and are easily expandable. For jet engine discs/stages, spinner cones, and spacer rings, our vertical balancing machines offer high accuracy and permanent calibration with options for single- or dual-plane balancing. The new moment weighing scales optimize blade distribution by accurately measuring mass and moment of force, supporting aerospace requirements.

Our static balancing machines offer a cost-effective solution for balancing simple, disc-shaped rotors. They utilize a unique measuring principle with three high-precision load cells, enabling true permanent calibration without adjustment.

The ESx series comes in two versions for different applications, featuring easy-to-use rotor holders, tolerance limit indicators, and quick calibration data storage at the push of a button.

Taro, our advanced static scale, is designed for rotor weights from 200 to 3,600 kg. It quickly and accurately measures unbalance and weight in disc-shaped rotors like railway wheels, propellers, grinding wheels, and pump rotors. Its non-rotational, static measurement requires no protective device and can be seamlessly integrated into manual or automated processes.
