Product catalog summary
Overview
Model 18J is a precision horizontal balancing machine designed for gas turbine applications, including fan hubs, compressor and turbine components, and shafts. It utilizes hard-bearing technology and force-measuring transducers for accurate unbalance measurement.
Key Features
  • Rugged piezo-electric transducers resistant to temperature and humidity.
  • Fully traversable work supports along a precision-machined bed.
  • Adjustable end-thrust assemblies with precision ball bearings for axial load.
End Drive Coupling
  • All-metric design with pneumatic belt tensioner for consistent drive-belt pressure.
  • Photocell or phase-coil detection of RPM.
  • Optional safety guard meeting OSHA and/or CE requirements.
  • Custom hardware and software available.
Technical Specifications
  • Configuration: End drive, Belt drive, Belt/end drive.
  • Maximum rotor weight: 250 kg (550 lb).
  • Maximum rotor diameter: 1270 mm (50 in).
  • Balancing speeds: 60 - 2400 rpm.
  • Accuracy: ≤ 0.25 µm (≤ 10 µin).
  • Sensitivity: ≤ 0.25 gmm/kg.
  • Power: 2 hp AC motor.
  • Electrical: 230 V, 3-phase, 60 Hz or 380 – 440 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz.
