Model 23J Horizontal Balancing System

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Model 23J 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 that are unaffected by temperature or humidity and are sealed against dust and dirt.
  • Fully traversable work supports along a precision-machined bed with a gear-rack system ensuring parallel alignment.
  • Adjustable end-thrust assemblies with precision ball bearings for axial load in belt-drive systems.
  • 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-designed hardware and software available.
Technical Specifications:
  • Configuration: End Drive or Belt Drive.
  • Maximum rotor weight: 1200 kg (2640 lb).
  • Maximum rotor diameter over bed: 1600 mm (63 in).
  • Balancing speeds: 60 - 1800 rpm (Model 23J) and 360 - 3600 rpm (Model 23.1J).
  • Accuracy: ≤ 0.38 µm (Model 23J) and ≤ 0.25 µm (Model 23.1J).
  • Sensitivity: ≤ 0.38 gmm/kg (Model 23J) and ≤ 0.25 gmm/kg (Model 23.1J).
  • Unbalance reduction ratio: 95%.
  • Motor power: 30 hp ac (Model 23J) and 15 hp ac (Model 23.1J).
  • Electrical characteristics: 230 - 460 V, 3-phase, 60 Hz or 380 – 440 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz.
Compliance: Meets or exceeds SAE ARP 4048 Specifications for Horizontal Machine Class 1000.
