Schenck RoTec expanded the service range in all its 13 balancing centers in Europe now offering also an additional service of high-speed balancing of flexible rotors, such as turbines, generators, multi-stage pumps or electrical armatures. Flexible rotors change their behavior with their rotational speed, which also changes the state of unbalance, so that they must be balanced at their operating speed or close to it.
The expanded range of the balancing centers now makes it possible to balance rotors with a weight of up to 20 tons, a length of up to eight m and rotational speed of over 50.000 min-1. As an additional option it is also possible to test the material strength by operating rotors at overspeed. At the Schenck RoTec balancing centers, of which there are four in Germany alone, experts develop solutions to check individual rotors, weighing from a few grams to 50 tons, or entire components, balancing both small and large series, eliminating vibration directly on site. Specialist areas include the precision balancing of tiny rotors down to a residual unbalance of a few micrograms, as well as the balancing of large rotors, all based on customized and economical processes.
