A field balancer is a measuring instrument used for bearings and mechanisms of rotating machines and machine tools such as grinding and polishing.
By measuring the balance of a machine using a field balancer, the performance of the machine can be maintained and the manufacturing and maintenance of the product can continue to be performed with high accuracy. Field balancers equipped with a microcomputer can automatically calculate the degree of unbalance.
Field balancers are used to measure rotating machinery and machine tools.
If the weight of rotating machinery is unbalanced around the rotating axis or on the bearings, vibration and noise will occur, reducing machining accuracy. Therefore, measuring and adjusting the balance is important to maintain product accuracy. Field balancers measure the balance during rotation and can display data on the amount of correction needed.
In polishing machines, eliminating unnecessary vibration of the machine can also reduce wear and prolong the life of the machine.
A field balancer has a vibration sensor. By installing this vibration sensor at a highly rigid point near the bearing of the rotating shaft, the balance can be measured correctly.
