Balancing Equipment at Vibration Meter Prices: Fact or Fiction?
Recommendations for purchasing a balancing machine.
Balancing equipment plays a crucial role in vibration analysis and technological processes. They not only measure parameters but also correct the imbalance of rotating mechanisms, enhancing product quality and economic efficiency. However, their high cost (2500 - 25000 euros) often poses a barrier for small and medium enterprises.
What Influences the Cost:
- Small Demand: Balancing equipment is produced in restricted series.
- Price of Vibration Sensors: They comprise at least two costly sensors.
- Software Development: Specialized software entails considerable expenses.
"Balanset-1A": An Innovative Balancing Device
To reduce costs, the "Balanset-1A" was developed. Development Principles:
- Use of mass-produced components.
- Application of cheaper vibration sensors.
- Extensive use of proven control algorithms.
"Balanset-1A" Components:
- Microprocessor measuring unit with USB output.
- Laptop with pre-installed specialized software.
- A pair of low-cost capacitive accelerometers.
- Phase angle measured by laser sensor.
This approach led to significant decreases in development and production expenses. Application of serial components and affordable sensors, along with proven algorithms, set the cost of the "Balanset" set (without computer) to no more than 2000 euros (1500 euros for Balanset-oem).
Summary
"Balanset" is a balancing instrument whose cost is comparable to regular vibration meters, making it accessible to many enterprises.
