Universal solution for medium-size rotors
Special equipment model 97V50 – vertical balancing machine for single-plane rotors weighing up to 50 kg. Can be used in repair shops and production plants with different product series.
It is possible to balance such parts on the machine:- Couplings of all types.
- Pump impellers.
- Automotive brake discs.
- Impellers of gas compressor and aviation turbines.
- Milk separators.
- Brake drums.
- Tooling for metalworking and woodworking.
- Pulleys, flywheels, gears, blade fans, any part of the “disk-shaped” type.
The 97V50 has a rigid monolithic housing with an integrated preresonant vibration pylon on which the spindle assembly and electric drive are mounted. The spindle assembly has a tapered fit to achieve high alignment of the tooling with the rotary axis without the need for an indicator stand when adjusting.
The control is carried out through the control panel placed on the extendable stand attached to the housing. The control cabinet contains a frequency converter for smooth regulation of the electric drive and protection of electrical equipment. There is also a balancing system in the control cabinet.
There are two off-the-shelf options for selecting a balancing system: PB-02M (microprocessor-based system) and PAK-V (computer-based system with touch screen). It is also possible to make a special system according to the customer’s request.
A standard spindle with a tapered bore is used to mount a mandrel and attach a balancing part by means of a clamping bolt. This design is ideal for one-off and overhaul production with small batch balancing of various parts. For high production efficiency, the machine can be equipped with a hydraulically or pneumatically operated collet clamping device. Re-positioning a part on a machine with this modification takes approximately 3 seconds. The collet clamp can be controlled by a control panel or a foot pedal.

Mechanical Base Design
- Monolithic vertical support and base construction – Integrated rigid framework with vertical axis configuration minimizes oscillation system elements to prevent vibration losses during measurement cycles. This structural design ensures consistent accuracy for disk-type rotors up to 50kg while enabling rapid part changeover.
- High-rigidity machine frame design – Reinforced frame construction accommodates rotors with large initial imbalances without risk of component damage, enabling accelerated balancing processes. The rigid design provides structural stability for diverse disk-type components while maintaining measurement precision.
- Vertical axis rotation architecture – Vertical spindle orientation provides convenient access to unbalance correction zones without part removal from the machine. This design approach enables efficient correction operations and rapid part changeover for serial production environments.
Precision Spindle and Drive System
- Special-design spindle with unique assembly technology – Custom spindle manufactured using high-quality, high-precision bearings assembled with proprietary techniques for exceptional rotational accuracy. The specialized design ensures precise part mounting and rotation characteristics for diverse disk-type components.
- Dual spindle fit capability – Spindle design accommodates both cylindrical and tapered mounting interfaces to achieve high degree of coaxiality between mandrel and spindle. This flexibility enables optimal mounting configurations for diverse part geometries and center hole specifications.
- Variable frequency asynchronous electric drive – 3.0kW electric motor with power reserve reduces acceleration and deceleration times while providing adequate torque for rotors up to 50kg. Frequency inverter enables smooth speed regulation across 300-1000 rpm range with motor protection and stepless control.
Precision Mandrel and Mounting Systems
- High-precision balancing mandrel design – Mandrels manufactured on precision equipment to achieve exact balancing of disk-type products with center hole mounting. The precision manufacturing ensures optimal coaxiality and minimal runout for accurate measurement results.
- Center hole mounting capability – Mounting system utilizes parts’ own base center holes for location and installation, eliminating need for bearing surfaces. This approach accommodates diverse disk-type components including pulleys, flywheels, brake discs, and cutting tools.
- Multiple mandrel configuration options – Extensive range of mandrels available to satisfy diverse application requirements for specialized disk-type components. The mandrel variety enables accommodation of different center hole sizes and part configurations.
Advanced Clamping and Handling Systems
- Collet chuck with multiple actuation options – Chuck system available with pneumatic or manual clamping operation for secure part retention during balancing cycles. The collet design provides consistent clamping force while accommodating various center hole diameters.
- Pneumatic chuck option – Alternative pneumatic chuck system provides automated clamping capability for enhanced productivity in serial production environments. The pneumatic operation reduces operator effort while ensuring consistent part retention.
- Jack system for heavy workpiece handling – Optional jack mechanism enables smooth, shock-free installation and removal of heavy balancing workpieces from machine spindle. The jack system provides safer working environment while preventing spindle damage during part handling operations.
Production Efficiency Features
- Semi-automatic operational mode – Machine capability for semi-automatic operation with automatic spindle shutdown after measurement cycle completion. This feature enables operator multitasking during balancing processes, improving overall productivity in production environments.
- Rapid part changeover design – Vertical axis configuration and accessible design enable quick part replacement for efficient serial and small-scale production operations. The changeover efficiency maximizes machine utilization in diverse production environments.
- Protective cover integration – Complete protective enclosure system ensures compliance with modern CE and ISO safety regulations while maintaining operator access. The safety design enables confident operation in diverse industrial environments.
Specialized Correction Modules
- Optional drilling module integration – Onboard drilling system performs material removal for unbalance correction without part removal from machine. The drilling module maintains positional accuracy throughout correction cycles for streamlined operation.
- Optional milling module capability – Alternative milling system provides precision material removal for unbalance correction directly on the machine. The milling option accommodates parts requiring precise surface finishing during correction operations.
- Direct correction access design – Vertical configuration enables convenient access to correction zones while part remains mounted on spindle. This accessibility reduces correction time and improves overall balancing efficiency.
The PAK-1V unbalance measuring unit is a 2-plane measuring balancing system for balancing disc-type rotors on vertical balancing machines. It can perform static (single-plane) balancing in dynamic mode on a two-plane balancing machine.
Based on an industrial fanless computer with a touchscreen and a multi-channel measuring unit, the system ensures reliability and a long service life, even under intensive use. The PAK-1V utilizes a universal measuring path and modern component base, allowing for equally high accuracy when working with all types of rotors.
Its intuitive interface, self-calibration capability, and automation of key operations make the complex a convenient tool for both experienced specialists and novice beginners.
Useful features for vertical balancing
- Takes into account the influence of the eccentricity of the balancing mandrel when measuring imbalance.
- Distributing unbalance across design points makes it easier to balance parts with limited correction points. Examples of such parts are paddle fans, slot drums or baskets with turrets to attach correction weights.
- Unbalance can be converted into hole depth and number of holes.
- Unbalance distribution along the rotor axis into several correction planes
Features of the PAK-1V System:
- High-precision dynamic balancing for rotors of any configuration.
- Industrial fanless PC with touchscreen and multi-channel measuring unit.
- Setup using trial runs with calibration weights on production rotors.
- Self-calibration by the operator, eliminating annual service adjustment costs.
