Model 236 Digital Balancing Instrument FOR USE WITH SOFT & HARD BEARING BALANCING MACHINES DESCRIPTION: The Model 236 is an easy to use, microprocessor-based Balancing Instrument with unmatched performance in balancing all types of rotors on soft and/or hard bearing balancing machines. In addition, the 236 can be used for replacing outdated instruments to improve the performance of older machines. Anyone can use the 236 to balance rotors with only basic training. Once the instrument is calibrated, the operator simply needs to spin the rotor and read the unbalance corrections on the fluorescent display screen. The 236 is ideal for use in Production as a ‘Quality Tool’ and in high precision balancing applications, such as for machine tool spindles.
