Propeller shaft balancing machine

The HGW series horizontal, force measuring balancing machines were specifially conceived for low and high speed balancing of propeller shafts in overhaul or repair companies and for use in small series production. The modular set up enables them to be adapted to further balancing tasks such as electric motor armatures, rollers, etc., simply by adding standard components.

The careful dimensioning of all machine parts enables broad weight range coverage and ensures high availability, operational reliability and a long service life. The special spindle bearing covers a broad speed range and withstands high centrifugal forces, in order to correctly take into account the typical propeller shaft unbalance effects caused by radial, axial and bending play.

The HGW series provides a comprehensive safety package for man and machine: bearing force monitoring, which automatically switches off the machine’s drive if unallowably high vibrations occur at the spindle bearings, stable safety bracket, which are designed to arrest the part in the event of part failure (e.g. joint fracture) and prevent injuries to people and damage to machine and a C 600 safety class safety device to ISO 7475 to protect against flying off balancing weights.
