Universal balancing offers a huge range of balancing machines, and supply bespoke machines to suit every need. With long history and experience in providing crankshaft balancers to a wide range of customers Universal Balancing can provide a crankshaft balancing machines for your application.
Crankshaft balancing machiness can be supplied with open rollers or white metal shell to provide the correct solution for supporting the crank whilst being rotated to determine the unbalance correction required. Rotating the crank can be by a cardan drive shaft with quick release coupling / powered rollers or belt drive this depends on application, flexibility required and automation level.
Correction for crankshafts is usually by drilling into the cranks counterbalance webs this can be carried out either dry or wet dependent on automation level, material and cycle time. UB balancers can have a single gantry type drill unit or multi-units when high through-put.
Cranks that require "bob" weights to simulate a proportion of piston and con-rod dynamic mass can either actually have quick fit "bob" weights fitted or can be balanced in a dedicated fixture that simulates the compensation amount of a bob weight. This method is usual for automated process where the time taken to fit and remove bob weights is a problem.
Fully automated systems can be multi station or have work handling systems integrated such as XYZ pick and place, conveyor/pallet load or dedicated bespoke handling systems.
