Dynamic Impeller Balancing

 

Industrial Pump Sales & Service, Inc. offers dynamic balancing of impellers, fans, and motor armatures. A step often overlooked during repair, the life span and reliability of your equipment depends on it. Balancing is a standard part of and is included in all repairs done by Industrial Pump. This service can also be purchased separately when needed.

Without balancing some effects you may notice are:
  1. Bearings will experience higher loading that will cause premature failure.
  2. The mechanical seal faces can separate because of the induced vibration and shaft run out.
  3. The seal faces can become damaged as the vibration causes the carbon to bounce against the hard face.
  4. Seal drive lugs will wear prematurely.
  5. Shaft fretting will increase dramatically under bearing grease seals.
