The use of turbochargers in todays engines is becoming more and more popular. Balancing turbocharger components is specifically challenging due to the fact that they have two moving parts that are made from different materials such as
aluminum, titanium, and inconel. They typically have an extremely high service speed, a low residual unbalance requirement and limited unbalance correction locations.
Schenck offers a wide variety of machines for balancing turbocharger rotors as manual, semi-automatic or fully-automatic systems that can be custom-tailored to meet any production requirement. Machines can be configured to accurately balance turbochargers as: |
