Dynamic Balancing

Everything that rotates like the motor in your HVAC system needs to be in a state of balance to ensure smooth running when in operation. As the HVAC machine speeds increase, the effects of unbalance become more detrimental.

Dynamic Balancing is performed while the machine is running under actual conditions. On equipment with speed drives installed, balancing can be checked at all speeds the machine will be running at. On a machine that is well balanced, there is less stress on the components which equates to longer life.

There are many documented “GOOD CONSEQUENCES” and benefits associated with a well balanced, smooth running system. Included among these are:

MINIMIZE VIBRATION
Unbalance is still the major source of machine vibration.

MINIMIZE NOISE
Airborne noise is often directly attributable to mechanical vibration.

MINIMIZE STRUCTURAL STRESS
The forces produced by unbalance have to be absorbed by the surrounding structure.

INCREASE MACHINE LIFE
The time between outages can be extended if the machine is running smoothly.

INCREASE BEARING LIFE
Bearings bear the brunt of the unbalance forces.

INCREASE PRODUCT QUALITY
Minimum vibration, especially on machine tools, produces better parts.

INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
Machines running smoothly have more “uptime” availability.
