PRECISION DYNAMIC BALANCER

This fan blade was dynamically balanced in accordance with 150 1940/1 and ANSI 5.19. It was better than a G2.5 state of balance. The SP computer readout can sense where the weight of a pencil tip eraser sized weight is attached to the rim of a 500lb rotor. The computer can distribute the correct offset weight over 2 or more propeller or fan blade tips to provide exact corrections. This is just static balance. A rotor can be in perfect static balance and still shake violently from dynamic imbalance (wobble). Weight on the leading and trailing edge where it is 180 degrees opposite each other will dramatically lower life of bearings, seals on attached drives. CME precision dynamic balancing corrects this.

The balancing machine capacity is 120″ swing and 20 tons.
