Now introducing an enhanced analysis package:
Machines can exhibit mechanical vibrations because of unbalances, alignment faults, and incipient damage. To ensure that no fault goes undiagnosed the SmartBalancer 4 Advanced Analysis package can be provided. The Advanced Analysis package provides a detailed analysis of the machine, including custom FFT frequency analysis, bearing envelope spectrums, time waveform, and crossphase measurements. These supplementary functions can be added at any time, enabling even more comprehensive field analysis.
Avoid unbalances in your operations
New Rotors may initially be balanced before their first use, but their balance can often be disrupted due to various factors such as installation, wear, and operational influences. These unbalances can result in mechanical vibrations during use, which can cause premature wear and tear of bearings, fatigue, force fractures, or shaft deformations. Fortunately, our SmartBalancer 4 is the ultimate solution to this problem. It allows for quick, cost-effective, and highly accurate balancing of rotors in their installed condition, without requiring machine dismantling. And this can be accomplished with up to six sensors simultaneously, operating at rotational speeds ranging from 120 to 80,000 rpm.
In addition, the SmartBalancer 4 also comes with comprehensive diagnostic capabilities to keep you informed about the vibration condition of your machines, ensuring that your business operates smoothly and without interruptions, providing the best prospect for a smooth and trouble-free outcome.
For even more applications: Assessment of roller bearings
With the optional Advance Analyzer module, the SmartBalancer 4’s application range can be extended to include roller bearing assessment. This module enables the instrument to perform envelope spectrum analysis, which detects periodic impacts resulting from roller bearing and gearing damage. The analysis is based on demodulating amplitude-modulated vibration signals. By utilizing this feature, you can plan ahead and take necessary measures at an affordable cost.
