Rotor Balancing Services

Why Dynamic Rotor Balancing?

All rotating machinery is susceptible to unbalance, even when properly manufactured to a tight tolerance a skewed accumulation of allowable values may result. When system vibration occurs which can lead to quick wear of components and even system failure. System vibration can be caused by internal metallurgical anomalies. An unbalance caused by additional mass on one side of a rotor is called static or force unbalance. Even if a force is balanced by another equal force in the opposite plane (ie no static unbalance) there can still be what is known as a couple or dynamic unbalance. This occurs because during rotation the forces can give rise to vibration. Even though a rotor may be symmetrical and statically force balanced, it can still be unbalanced. Together, these force and coupled unbalances create what is called the combined unbalance.

Artec serves to provide Rotor Balancing for a wide array of rotating machinery including:

• Couplings
• Shafts
• Rotors
• Gears
• Hubs

Through the use of Dynamic Balancing, this combined unbalance can be detected, measured, and corrected.

Artec’s balancing services strive to exceed the demands of the industries where we operate. In order to do this, Artec is capable of meeting any required balancing standard. Including ISO (All grades), and API. Artec balances components and assemblies for an array of high and low-speed applications.

Artec Machine Systems seeks to offer premier dynamic balancing services to the North East. Located in southeastern Connecticut, Artec is in a prime position to serve local customers in the New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, and Massachusetts areas.
