100 years –
Keeping track of unbalances.

That‘s what it was like only 100 years ago.

At the start of industrialisation it would take three to four weeks of tiring manual work in order to balance rotors reasonably well. Nevertheless, at greater speeds there was the risk of tank explosions, flywheel breakages and damages to the bearings on account of the vibrations caused by the faulty balancing goods.

On the following pages you can read more about the history of SCHENCK and explore how they have contributed to the development in the area of balancing technologies – from the first simple solutions to the current state of high-precision technology.
