Balancing
Imbalance in rotating machinery components causes high vibration which can cause construction parts to loosen and lead to unnecessary wear. Balancing your rotating equipment will prevent vibrations and increase machinery lifetime.
Imbalance can significantly reduce the operational safety of a machine. This increases the risk for disintegrating foundations, failing electric switches and breaking lines. Accurately balancing and maintaining your machinery will therefore increase the safety of your employees.
Main ServicesFor balancing on location as well as balancing in our workshop, we are one of the largest and most experienced third-party balancing providers in Europe, with more than 100 years of combined balancing experience. Our specialist engineers have the knowledge, equipment, and practical skills to balance small, large, light, and heavy machine components, either onsite or in our well-equipped workshop facilities. Field engineers bring advanced diagnostic capability and high-end measurement equipment, while workshop teams have access to a wide range of dedicated balancing machines to achieve optimal imbalance reduction.

How our balancing services are delivered
Our balancing services are divided into two dedicated sub-services. These teams often work closely together and, in many cases, act as an extension of each other to ensure the most effective and practical solution for each application. |

Our balanced components are used across national and international markets in a wide variety of industries.
Benefits of balancing
Balancing delivers clear benefits across a wide range of applications, from reducing high vibration levels on production fans to highly accurate rebalancing of couplings on yachts or cruise vessels, where onboard noise and vibration reduction directly improves passenger comfort.
|
Reduced maintenance costs
Imbalance significantly reduces the lifespan of bearings and mechanical components. Proper balancing extends component life and reduces unplanned maintenance. |
Reduced energy costs
Equipment running out of balance consumes more power as the driver compensates for vibration. Balancing lowers energy consumption and operating costs. |
Reduced noise and vibration
Imbalance is a major contributor to high vibration and noise levels. Balancing can significantly reduce both. |
|
Optimised product quality
In machining applications, lower vibration levels improve surface finish and overall product quality. |
Improved safety
Excessive imbalance can lead to extreme vibration levels, posing risks to personnel and the surrounding process environment. |
Overall result
Balanced machinery runs smoother, lasts longer, consumes less energy, and operates more safely and quietly. |
