Rotor balancing is not determined by weight alone. A useful first review needs enough information to confirm whether the rotor can be mounted safely, driven correctly and corrected without damaging the component.
Minimum information
- Rotor type and intended duty
- Approximate rotor mass
- Maximum diameter and overall length
- Journal diameters and usable journal lengths
- Normal operating speed
- Photographs from both ends and the side
Why the journals matter
The rotor must sit on a suitable support or mandrel. Damaged, tapered, coated or very short journals can make the measurement unstable or require additional preparation.
Current declared machine envelope
| Parameter | Declared capability |
|---|---|
| Rotor weight | Below 800 kg |
| Maximum diameter | 1.3 m |
| Rotor length | 400 mm to 2.5 m |
Final job acceptance depends on the complete geometry, centre of gravity, journals, drive arrangement and safe guarding—not only the headline dimensions.
