Reliability Solutions Maintenance strives to balance all equipment to G 1.0 standards; a grade considered the best by industry standards. Our balancing services are designed to meet or exceed these tolerances. Rotors of different weights and speeds will always provide different results, but in each case, the G 1.0 tolerance ensures a better-running rotor—resulting in lower maintenance costs, reduced energy consumption, less stress and wear on the supporting housings and shafts, and a greater asset life cycle.
Precision balancing is the process of correcting uneven weight distribution in rotating equipment. By adjusting and redistributing weight, we ensure that rotors, fans, and other machinery operate smoothly, with reduced vibration and stress.
Unbalanced equipment creates excessive vibration, which can cause premature wear, energy loss, and even catastrophic failures. Precision balancing improves performance, reduces operating costs, and extends the life of your assets.
The G 1.0 balance grade is one of the highest precision levels defined by ISO standards. It ensures exceptionally smooth operation, reduced vibration, and optimal efficiency giving your equipment the best chance at maximum lifespan and reliability.
Our technicians perform a diagnostic review to identify imbalance in your equipment. Once the source is found, we adjust weight distribution by adding or removing weight in one or multiple planes until the equipment meets precision tolerances.
Reliability Solutions balances a wide range of rotating equipment, including:
Yes. In one case, a customer’s overhung fan rotor was operating at 48 mils of vibration and nearly self-destructing. After precision balancing, vibration dropped to 0.8 mils so quiet the mechanic thought the shaft had stopped running.
Balancing frequency depends on equipment criticality, load, and usage. Some assets may require balancing after major repairs or at regular maintenance intervals, while others can go years if monitored and maintained properly.
By reducing vibration and preventing premature wear, precision balancing lowers repair costs, minimizes downtime, and reduces energy use delivering both immediate and long-term savings.
Contact our team at [email protected] or call (251) 490-2999. Our technicians will assess your equipment, perform precision balancing, and provide results that improve safety, efficiency, and reliability.
Our balance technicians have years of experience in balancing most any type of equipment. We can balance in single, dual, or multiple planes to achieve the results you need. Our balancing services include a full diagnostic review to determine where your equipment is unbalanced. Once the source of the uneven weight distribution is found, we rebalance the equipment. Precision balancing is essential to improve performance, reduce vibration, and extend the efficiency and life of your rotors.
One of our customers called and asked that we help them with an overhung fan rotor balance. When our analyst arrived the fan was running 48 Mils and was about to self destruct. After two attempts to add weights, the fan was running at .8 mils. One of the maintenance mechanics stated that “the shaft must have broken because I can’t hear it running”. The Superintendent called and stated that “our analyst really knew his stuff. That fan has never run like this”.
