ENT-2302 for pdf 3/18/99 9:57 AM

Features of Soft-Bearing

High balance sensitivityas small as 0.015 g mm (0.00002 oz in)

Balance at lower & safer speeds

Instrumentation capability of both first run readout and trial weight calibration

Instrumentation can read vibration displacement in addition to unbalance

Transportable, modular design

Broad rotor weight range in each machine

Soft- & Hard-Bearing Balancing Machines

Features of Hard-Bearing

Horizontal & vertical machines available

Ideally suited for production balancing

Can handle excessive initial unbalance

First-run readout, no trial weights required

Rigid construction, fewer moving parts

Optional weight addition or removal devicesavailable

No expensive construction of special concretefoundations is required for any IRD soft- orhard-bearing machines.

General purpose, midrangebalancing machines are available inmany models for rotors weighingfrom .45 kilogram (1 pound) to11 340 kilograms (25 000 pounds).

HistoryAccuracy

A 150 ton (135 000 kilogram) turbinerotor in a nuclear power station beingbalanced and machined on site in a fullytransportable, 300 ton capacity (270 000kilogram) balancing machine system.

Accurate balancing is essential to the operation,maintenance and repair of rotating equipment. Whetheryou are dealing with a turbine in a power plant, a fan ina chemical facility, an armature from an electric motor, or a roll in a paper mill, your rotors need to be balancedas precisely as possible.

Our products can accommodate a range of rotor weightsfrom a fraction of a kilogram to over 272 000 kilograms(.022 to 600 000 pounds). What we know about precisionbalancing allows us to recommend the best soft- orhard-bearing answer for your application.

We began developing new balancingtechnologies 50 years ago. We haven’tstopped since.

We have been in the balancing business for nearly50 years. As IRD Mechanalysis, we set the industrystandard for balancing machinery and instrumentation.Almost every major balancing innovation or technologyhad its start with us.

Now, as a division of Entek IRD, we are the only majormanufacturer to offer a complete range of both soft-and hard-bearing machines, as well as a full line ofinstruments. We have over 5000 systems installed invirtually every industrialized nation in the world. Thesystems we sell are supported by a global network ofservice, support, applications expertise and trainingprograms. And we’re ISO 9001 quality systemregistered. We’re historically proven and chargingahead into the future.

IRD Balancing Division Offices

Find the right balance. IRD Balancing.

Do-It-Yourself Field FabricationWe’ll provide you with a kit containing critical componentssuch as suspensions and bearing assemblies. We’ll also providea complete set of engineering drawings for you to do most ofthe heavy metal fabrication (like machine bases, frames andpedestals) yourself.

Update & Upgrade Existing EquipmentUpdate equipment from any manufacturer by selectivelyadding new IRD balancing instrumentation, suspension andbearing assemblies to your existing machine bases, pedestalsand drive systems. You’ll get the leading-edge performanceof a brand new balancing system at a fraction of the cost.

Friendly Service & SupportTaking care of our customers, no matter what it takes, is ourabsolute, number one priority. This is how we’ve built and kept our hard-earned reputation as the friendliest company inthe business. On-site start-up, training, service and support areavailable for all balancing machines and instruments.

Balancing Training SchoolWe know more about balancing technologies and applicationsthan any other supplier in the industry. In fact, we’ve trainedhundreds of thousands of people in balancing theory,techniques and procedures over the past 50 years. And, we’rewilling to share what we know with you. We offer an extensivecurriculum of public and in-house training courses andworkshops, for both engineers and operators.
