Professional measurement for heavy applications
9D718U is an universal dynamic balancing machine with horizontal axis of rotation type. Generally, It is possible to balance the following kinds on such a machine:
- inter-support and cantilever rotors
- rotor on special mandrels (disks, fans, pumps)
- rotor in own bearings
Thanks to the narrow stands and belt drive, the balancing machine 9D718U is used for balancing of rotors of various structures at repair and production plants.
The machine has high accuracy (0,4 gmm \ kg). Accuracy is achieved due to the special design of the spindle and the rig of the machine, as well as a reliable balancing system, PAK-1, which has a high degree of noise immunity. Ease of control allows you to quickly learn how to work on the machine and get to work as soon as possible. When designing the machine, high demands were placed on the functionality and versatility of each node, this made it possible to install absolutely any driveshaft on the machine with a minimum of time.
The width of the support rollers and roller cartridges allows the rotor to be installed with a very short length. Highly located “roller cassettes” allow you to create products with different overall dimensions, and the modular design allows you to increase the standard dimensions of the machine due to spacers and accessories.
The support has the ability to adjust the “roller block” in height, this allows you to balance the rotor with different diameters of the support journals, and also allows you to center the rotor when setting up the machine.

This design feature enables balancing of heavy industrial assemblies with challenging load distribution requirements.
- “MICRO-TUNING”® technology for heavy rotor alignment – Specialized heavy-duty compensation system eliminates measurement errors from axial misalignment during rotation cycles under high loads. This technology maintains accuracy regardless of substantial rotor positioning variations during setup of heavy components.
- Extended center distance capability – Support design accommodates rotors with center distances up to 4600mm for large industrial applications. The extended span capability enables handling of substantial rotor assemblies while maintaining structural rigidity and measurement precision.
High-Capacity Drive System Configuration
- Heavy-duty frequency-controlled asynchronous drive – 22kW electric motor with substantial power reserve design optimizes acceleration and deceleration cycles for the 80-8000kg weight range. Frequency inverter provides smooth speed control across 250-1000 rpm with infinitely variable adjustment capability for heavy rotor applications.
- Patented “LONG STROKE”® heavy-duty belt drive – Reinforced configuration with an extended stroke capability and only two drive belts can accommodate rotors with different drive surface diameters. This design provides consistent torque delivery while maintaining operational flexibility.
- Optional high-torque axial drive with extendable spindle – Cardan shaft transmission provides maximum torque capability for specialized heavy rotor configurations requiring direct drive connection. The extendable spindle design adapts to variable rotor lengths while preserving measurement accuracy for complex industrial geometries.
