HM
The HM series universal balancing machines from Schenck are ideal for balancing horizontally mounted rotors with maximum precision and flexibility for many areas of individual applications. Their modular design enables these machines to meet most balancing requirements in single-unit or in high volume production making them suitable for smaller businesses and workshops and for manufacturers of larger quantities.
The all-rounders among balancing machines.
Modular system for maximum flexibility Adapt your balancing machine to your needs. Whether for single rotors or small series, the modular system and versatile accessories make the HM series extremely flexible to benefit you in the long term from an investment that pays for itself.
Balancing with variable drives With HM universal balancing machines, you can combine different drives on one machine. Selection of a drive system is determined by the shape or your rotors. Underslung belt drives (BU) provide for smooth operation and are universally applicable and Universal-joint drives (U) for cases where a high drive power is required.
