Dynamic Balancing

Excessive vibration in rotating machinery can substantially reduce the life of shaft bearings. SZU Solutions balances all of pump rotors on an IRD soft balancing machine or a Schenk hard balancing machine. Depending on the rotor, SZU Solutions has the right machine to balance your pump rotors, from the smallest ANSI pump rotors up to 118″ rotors weighing 50,000 lbs. Our machines are calibrated by a 3rd party service on an annual basis. In addition, SZU Solutions has our own certified test rotors to insure proper tolerances.

Disassembling pump rotors safely is an important aspect of protecting your equipment when it comes into our shop for repair. SZU Solutions has one of the largest wheel presses – not just in Illinois – but in the entire country. It is capable of applying 500 tons of force on rotors up to 110″.
