Schenck Balancing Machines for Turbocharger
Production
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, high-alloyed steel and ceramics. 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:
Turbine wheel and shaft
Balancing in two planes on a vertical machine by milling or grinding
Impeller wheel
Balancing in two planes on a vertical machine by milling
Charger subassembly
Balancing in two planes on a horizontal machine by grinding
Reduction of eccentricity errors in the case of excessive noise.
Core assembly
High-speed balancing in two planes.
Schencks patented air-bearing technology allows the spindle to spin at
high rpm
