Flail mower balancing

Unbalanced flail mower rotors generate dangerous vibration that fatigues mounting brackets, destroys gearbox bearings, causes uneven cutting, accelerates blade holder wear, and creates operator discomfort that reduces productivity and increases safety risks.

This series of machines can be used to balance such parts

From Rough Vibration to Smooth Cutting: Flail Rotor Balancing Solutions

VTM precision balancing stops frame cracking, bearing failures, and uneven wear caused by rotor imbalance in demanding mowing operations.

Specific Feature
Presence of moving parts

The chains (blades) on these rotors are not rigidly fixed and can change their position in space from one start-up to the next. This causes the imbalance readings to become unstable—the “vector averaging” function allows for an accurate determination of the total imbalance.

Specific Feature
A significant initial imbalance

Due to their specific design and operating conditions (wear or loss of blades), such rotors often have significant initial imbalance, which causes critical vibrations when the machine is started up.

Specific Feature
Short or narrow mounting journals

Mower shafts often have limited space for contact with the supports, which makes it difficult to mount them on standard rollers and requires the use of narrow roller blocks or prisms.

Specific Feature
Limited space for correcting imbalances

The drum’s design allows balancing weights to be installed only in specific areas (such as on the rims or special plates), which often does not correspond to the actual imbalance vector and requires a software recalculation.

Other options required for balancing flail mower
  • Measurement averaging function
  • Calculation of imbalance at design-determined points
  • High-power electric motor with variable-speed control
  • Ability to measure a large initial imbalance
  • Tall supports and high load capacity
  • Narrow roller cassettes and special prisms
