Industrial driveshaft balancing – maximum capacity & precision!

Balancing Machine 97VK1000 is a technically advanced solution designed specifically for engineers working at service and repair enterprises. Its primary purpose is to ensure precision and speed in the process of balancing industrial drive shafts.

Defining Initial Imbalance: At the heart of this machine is its ability to balance shafts weighing up to 1000 kg with significant initial imbalances. Thanks to its rigid construction, the 97VK1000 handles this task efficiently and flawlessly.

Versatility and Flexibility: One of the key advantages of this machine is its universal design and tooling. It allows workers to balance cardan shafts of various shapes and sizes, with a length of up to 4000 mm and a flange diameter of up to 400 mm. This means that the 97VK1000 can be applied in almost any situation, making it an indispensable tool on production lines.

Short Imbalance Measurement Cycle: Balancing shafts using the 97VK1000 is not only accurate but also time-efficient. The short imbalance measurement cycle enables quick equipment adjustment, reducing downtime and increasing overall enterprise productivity.

   

Technical Specifications: The 97VK1000 has the following technical parameters: cardan weight from 50 to 1000 kg, cardan length up to 4000 mm, and flange diameter up to 400 mm. These specifications make it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial tasks.

Advanced Technology: The machine is equipped with an asynchronous frequency-controlled electric drive, allowing frequency adjustment without stopping the motor. This provides maximum flexibility and accuracy in adjusting the balancing process, significantly improving the quality of industrial equipment maintenance.

Convenience and Safety: The 97VK1000 machine is mounted on a standard workshop floor with a thickness of at least 250-300 mm, with subsequent anchoring to it. The presence of two screw jacks makes working on the machine convenient and safe for personnel, reducing the time for installing the balanced shaft into the machine adapters and ensuring stability during operation.

Balancing Machine 97VK1000 is a reliable partner for professionals working in the field of service and repair of industrial drive shafts. Its advanced technologies, high performance, and user-friendly design make it an indispensable tool in any manufacturing enterprise.

  • Rigidly supported design – balancing shafts with large initial unbalances.
  • The shaft is mounted on the machine via an adapter plate. The machine can be equipped with plates for all flanges.
  • Flanges of any shape and with any hole pattern can be mounted on the faceplate.
  • The minimal error of mounting the faceplate on the machine spindle via the tapered connection ensures high precision and minimal impact on the result.
  • The left spindle support is stationary and driven. It is locked against rotation when the flange is bolted to the faceplate.
  • The right spindle support moves along the bed to the desired length of the shaft, and the spindle itself has a movable quill for easy installation and clamping of the flange.
  • The presence of two screw jacks makes convenient and safe work on the machine for the personnel and significantly facilitates the work and reduces the time for installation of the balanced shaft into the machine adapters.
  • The machine can be mounted on a normal shop floor not less than 250-300mm thick, with subsequent fastening to it.
  • The asynchronous frequency-controlled electric drive allows to perform stepless speed control without stopping the electric motor, selection of optimal modes for balancing, as well as to perform rotor rotation.

Precision Mounting & Alignment Systems
  • Taper connection spindle interface – Left spindle support utilizes precision taper connection for faceplate mounting, ensuring minimal mounting error and maximum impact reduction on measurement results. The stationary, driven design locks against rotation during flange installation procedures.
  • Movable quill spindle design – Right spindle support travels along the machine bed to accommodate desired shaft lengths, with integrated movable quill mechanism for simplified installation and secure clamping of shaft flanges. This configuration eliminates complex setup procedures and reduces installation time.
  • Dual screw jack safety system – Two precision screw jacks provide convenient and safe shaft handling for personnel while significantly reducing installation time and effort. The jack system ensures proper shaft positioning while protecting both operators and equipment during setup operations.
Advanced Control & Drive Systems
  • Frequency-controlled asynchronous drive – Features stepless speed control from 200-1000 rpm without motor shutdown, enabling optimal speed selection for different shaft characteristics and balancing requirements. The variable frequency drive provides smooth acceleration and deceleration profiles for enhanced measurement stability.
  • Single and dual-plane measurement capability – Balancing system processes both single and dual-plane configurations simultaneously, accommodating various shaft designs and unbalance correction requirements. This flexibility ensures comprehensive balancing solutions for different industrial applications.
  • Real-time monitoring and analysis – PAK-1 software-hardware system provides continuous display of balancing process with real-time unbalance behavior tracking for optimal correction results. The industrial PC with touch screen interface simplifies operation while providing comprehensive analytical capabilities.
Industrial Installation & Operational Features
  • Standard floor mounting compatibility – Machine designed for installation on standard shop floors with minimum 250-300 mm thickness, requiring only standard foundation anchoring procedures. This specification eliminates the need for specialized foundation work in most industrial facilities.
  • Compact machine footprint – Total machine weight not exceeding 1500 kg with efficient space utilization, making it suitable for integration into existing maintenance facilities without extensive floor space modifications. The compact design maintains full functionality while minimizing facility requirements.
  • High-productivity service orientation – Specifically engineered for service and repair companies with features that reduce overall repair time while ensuring consistent, high-quality balancing results. The combination of rapid setup, accurate measurement, and reliable correction capabilities maximizes workshop productivity.
Robust Construction & Reliability
  • 11 kW motor power reserve – Oversized motor capacity ensures reliable operation with heavy, high-drag shafts while reducing acceleration times and extending motor service life. The power reserve accommodates varying load conditions without performance degradation.
  • External vibration immunity – Hard-bearing design with advanced isolation provides high degree of protection against external vibration factors and measurement disturbances. This immunity ensures consistent accuracy regardless of workshop environment conditions.
  • Maintenance-friendly design – Construction emphasizes accessibility for routine maintenance and calibration procedures, with operator-controlled setup and calibration capabilities reducing dependency on specialized service technicians. The design supports reliable long-term operation in demanding industrial maintenance environments.
