Innovative technology for consistently high product quality
New standards in quality assurance Maximise the performance and service life of turbochargers. With our balancing machines, you can identify and correct imbalances before commissioning. The benefits: no vibrations, no unpleasant noises and no premature wear.
Many areas of application: from prototype development to series production We provide you with customised answers to a wide range of challenges, from manual, highly flexible machines for small quantities to semi- and fully automated solutions. Whether development and prototype construction or integration into fully automated production lines, you will find the balancing machine you need with us.
Efficient balancing at low and high speeds The balancing machines from Schenck offer advantages for turbochargers and components. With low-speed balancing, the unbalance values are measured at low speeds in an air bearing, then brought up to the measured speed and braked again - for simpler processes, more favourable tooling and clean machines. High-speed balancing minimises the axial load on the rotor through pressure compensation, without special tooling, and achieves 90 % of the operating figures. This enables a higher signal resolution and a more precise evaluation of the run-up process.
