Automatic / Active Ring Balancing Systems
Automatic (Active) ring balancing systems are designed to correct unbalance in rotating machinery while they are operating. unlike traditional "off-line" balancing techniques, which require the rotating asset to be stopped and often disassembled while corrections are made, Hofmann balancers monitor rotating imbalance and provide real start-up and shut-down cycles. These permanently installed balancers are proven to reduce maintenance cost and improve performance.
The balancer is installed permanently onto the rotating shaft; sensors continuously monitor the vibration levels while running. When an increase in vibration is detected above a pre-determined level, the controller initiates an advisory message as to the change in state of the unbalance. It then instructs the balancer to make an automatic balance correction, See how they work.
The balancing systems provide the ability to continuously monitor the state of balance of the rotating system. Rather than "covering up/masking," a balance problem, the balancing system continuously reports the state of the system's unbalance, thus providing diagnostic information used to predict system health and optimise service outages.
These balancers have been applied to fans, pumps, turbines, generators, compressors, grinders, lathes, spindles, centrifuges, drive shafts and aircraft propellers.

Condition Monitoring Services
Our multi-technology Condition Monitoring Services programmes may include some or all of the following methods, which then enables a comprehensive Maintenance Strategy and Schedule of Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) to be implemented:
As a recognised leader in the field of condition monitoring service techniques, we utilise vibration analysis in a wide variety of rotating machinery applications. Potential problems such as imbalance, looseness, instability of mountings, gearbox and bearing deterioration, misalignment of couplings, and lubrication deficiency can all be easily detected. Early identification of these machine conditions reduces the chances of secondary component damage, improves reliability and therefore maintains efficiency.
Our on-site fluid sampling and advanced lab analysis enable us to monitor oil condition and contamination in addition to identifying abnormal machine wear and debris levels. Lubrication programmes can then be introduced, which will improve machine life and help save you money.
Thermal imaging has proved to be a critical element of the condition monitoring process. We utilise the latest in thermal imaging technology to provide a highly accurate indicator of emerging problems.
Electrical surveys, are used to identify high resistance joints, overloading and localised heating.
Mechanical surveys help to uncover component deterioration, friction, misalignment and temperature dependant process disorders,
Building surveys show heat loss through inadequate insulation across the building envelope and assist in the location of leaks.
