Schencks offers both semi-automatic and fully-automatic balancing machines for measurement and correction of automobile axle assemblies. Both vertical and horizontal machines are available to accommodate axles with operating speeds of up to 4,000 rpm.
These systems accurately simulate operating conditions by using a dummy mass method, in which precision balancing tooling is connected to a spindle by a drive shaft to simulate the actual in-vehicle drive shaft weight (dummy mass). Automatic air-actuated tooling is available and unbalance correction can be made by either drilling or welding. After the correction is made an audit check run is conducted and the residual unbalance location is marked. The contact or non-contact paint marking system can be configured to automatically mark the high or low location of the residual axle unbalance.

Our Axle Balancing Machines come equipped with our PC-based CAB 850 balancing instrumentation to guide the user through operation with a TFT touch screen in a Windows environment. The machine is also equipped with electronic interlocks and safety guarding for maximum protection.
