Minimize noise vibration |
|
Unbalance is the major source of machine vibration and noise |
|
Reduce structural stress |
|
The forces produced by unbalance have to be absorbed the surrounding structure. |
|
Minimize operator fatigue and annoyance. |
|
Exposure to vibration affects operator efficiency |
|
Increase machine life |
|
The time between outages can be extended if the machine is running smoothly |
|
Increase bearing life |
|
Bearings bear the brunt of unbalance forces |
|
Increase product quality |
|
Minimizing vibration, especially on machine tools, produces better parts. |
|
Increase personnel safety |
|
Dangers with machine failure are minimized |
|
Lower operating costs |
|
Energy consumption is reduced and increase machine availability. |
