Large Freshwater Pump Impeller
A large freshwater pump impeller for a municipality pumping water from a reservoir to the treatment plant. The arbor was made and fitted in-house and the rotor was balanced to API balancing standards.
11000 pound Fluid Friction Dynamometer Rotor
11000 pound fluid friction dynamometer rotor resting in our soft bearing high speed balancer. The rotor will be balanced at 1500 rpm. Soft bearing balancers are particularly suited for high precision balancing as they do not have structural resonance problems. This soft bearing machine can easily balance large rotors below ISO g1.0.
Large Permanent Magnet Motor / Generator Rotor
Large Permanent Magnet Motor / Generator Rotor being loaded into our custom balancing machine. Under the blue coating there are hundreds of high power neodymium magnets. Permanent Magnet Rotors can create extreme inductive forces in the balancing machine support structure and confuse balancing readouts. HI-TEK has the knowledge how to prevent electromotive forces from damaging the machine and affecting its […]
