Product catalog summary
Overview: The Model 12.1 Horizontal, Universal Balancer is a versatile two-plane balancing machine designed for high-precision applications such as armatures, spindles, shafts, and more. It utilizes hard-bearing technology and force-measuring transducers for accurate unbalance measurement.
Key Features:
  • Photocell or phase-coil detection of RPM.
  • Optional safety guard compliant with OSHA and CE standards.
  • Available in table mounting or with a precision-machined steel floor stand.
  • Custom hardware and software options.
  • Rugged piezo-electric transducers resistant to temperature, humidity, and contamination.
  • Fully traversable work supports with parallel support rails.
  • V-block, roller bearing, or half-shell supports.
  • Adjustable end-thrust assemblies with precision ball bearings for axial load in belt-drive systems.
  • Various electronic measuring instruments available.
  • All-metric design.
Technical Specifications:
  • Configuration: Belt Drive
  • Maximum rotor weight: 16 kg (35 lb)
  • Maximum weight per pedestal: 8 kg (17.5 lb)
  • Minimum rotor weight: 0.03 kg (1 oz)
