Gear and Cogwheel balancing

Balancing of gear drives is critical as it eliminates vibration during engagement, preventing tooth chipping and breakage, contact pattern shift, overheating, and emergency jamming of the entire gearbox.

This series of machines can be used to balance such parts

Gear types and transmission components requiring balancing:
  • High-Speed Turbo Gears
  • Spur and Helical Main Gears
  • Planetary Sun and Planet Gears
  • Large diameter bull gears
  • Wind turbine gearbox components
  • Marine propulsion gears

Eliminating Gear Imbalance: Precision Solutions for Smooth Power Transmission

VTM balancing stations correct mass distribution in gears to reduce noise, vibration, tooth stress, and bearing loads across drive systems.

Specific Feature
Lack of integral support collars

Gear wheels often do not have their own shaft, so special balancing mandrels are required to mount them on a balancing machine.

Specific Feature
Closely spaced correction planes

Due to the small axial width of the gears, their correction planes are in close proximity to one another, which makes it difficult to accurately separate the static and torque components of the imbalance.

Specific Feature
Presence of keyways

The keyway introduces an inherent imbalance into the wheel design, which must be compensated for programmatically using the mandrel eccentricity correction function.

Specific Feature
Cantilevered mass distribution

When balancing on a wheel balancer, the majority of the wheel’s mass is often located beyond the machine’s supports, which creates a risk of the rotor tipping over and requires the use of radial supports.

Other options required for balancing gear
  • Balancing mandrels
  • Mandrel Eccentricity Compensation Function
  • Static and dynamic balancing
  • Calculation of imbalance at design-determined points
  • Conversion of unbalanced mass to drilling depth
