Studies substantiate: Over 50 % of faults or failures in machines and systems can be traced directly or indirectly to unbalances in rotors. Fortunately, with the innovative SmartBalancing Mode of SmartBalancer 4, the user can effortlessly detect and fix the unbalance in their machines and systems. Thanks to its exceptional functionality and user-friendly interface, this portable device stands as the ultimate solution for field service, maintenance, technicians.

The advantages at a glance:

  • A complete package offering tremendous value for money.
  • Up to 6 simultaneous measuring channels.
  • Balancing and overall machine condition all in one place with our SmartBalancing Mode.
  • Live time waveform with synchronized FFT for spectrum analysis all while balancing.
  • Graphic display of the 1 x filtered vibration in polar vector diagrams.
  • Centralized machine set-ups and data storage.
  • Robust touch screen with high-resolution color display.
  • Robust industrial cables.
  • Simple transfer and documentation of measurement results.
  • Optical laser reference pickup with up to 2 m measurement distance.

Now introducing an enhanced analysis package:
Machines can exhibit mechanical vibrations because of unbalances, alignment faults, and incipient damage. To ensure that no fault goes undiagnosed the SmartBalancer 4 Advanced Analysis package can be provided. The Advanced Analysis package provides a detailed analysis of the machine, including custom FFT frequency analysis, bearing envelope spectrums, time waveform, and crossphase measurements. These supplementary functions can be added at any time, enabling even more comprehensive field analysis.

Area of Application

The SmartBalancer is a handy instrument for balancing installed rotors fast, accurately and inexpensively without disassembling machines. You can correct rotors of practically any size or weight in  one and two planes. It makes all of the important diagnostic options such as measuring overall vibrations, tracking analysis and FFT frequency analysis available. Its comprehensive equipment covers most of the other vibration measuring functions, making it a high-performance tool for machine diagnosis.
An optional module for roller bearing assessment further extends the application range of the SmartBalancer: The instrument is performing envelope spectrum analysis to detect periodic impacts caused by roller bearing damage and gearing damage. This analysis is based on the demodulation of amplitude modulated vibration signals. You can therefore make your plans in good time and institute the correct measures at reasonable cost. This extra function is easily released with a password without requiring additional installation.

Design and Function

  • This battery-operated machine has a complete package in its basic equipment with all of the accessories needed for 2-channel balancing. Its scope of delivery includes two piezoelectric acceleration transducers with magnetic retainers for smooth and curved surfaces and a probe. The laser-optics reference pick-up has a large measuring distance up to about 2 m to allow reliable and convenient work.

  • All of the functions of the SmartBalancer can be operated with one hand via one navigation pad and a couple of function keys. Following the very popular Windows display, the SmartBalancer works with easily comprehensible pictograms/icons and a simple file structure. Its large and illuminated colour display and 4 colour LEDs always provide clear information on the machine’s present operating state.
You can save all of your findings together with a description of the machine, the measuring point and date and time right in the SmartBalancer. You can download screenshots or measuring reports or you transmit them to a suitable printer for printing out wherever you are – for saving time and energy.
With our extended utility software as an option it is now furthermore possible to transfer measuring results as csv-file or ms-excel-report directly to your PC.
