Overview: The Model 24J 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 for parallel alignment.
- Adjustable end-thrust assemblies with precision ball bearings for axial load in belt-drive systems.
- All-metric design with optional safety guards meeting OSHA and CE requirements.
- Custom hardware and software options, with various electronic measuring instruments available.
Technical Specifications:- Configurations: End drive, Belt drive, Belt/end drive.
- Maximum rotor weight: 4500 kg (10,000 lb) for Model 24J, 3400 kg (7500 lb) for Model 24.1J.
- Minimum rotor weight: 20 kg (50 lb) for Model 24J, 10 kg (22 lb) for Model 24.1J.
- Maximum rotor diameter: 1750 mm (69 in).
- Balancing speeds: 60 – 1800 rpm, with accuracy ≤ 0.38 µm (≤ 15 µin) for Model 24J and ≤ 0.25 µm (≤ 10 µin) for Model 24.1J.
- Sensitivity: ≤ 0.25 gmm/kg.
- Unbalance reduction ratio: 95%.
- Motor power: 30 hp dc.
- Electrical characteristics: 460 V, 3-phase, 60 Hz or 380 – 440 V, 3-phase, 50 Hz.
