Automatically integrated balancing solutions
Active balancing systems for balancing during operation
Active balancing means measuring vibrations during rotation and directly compensating for any imbalances that arise. This means that machines and systems can be balanced during operation without having to interrupt the process. The result is long-lasting machines, less downtime and a permanently high level of efficiency thanks to the optimum vibration behavior of your systems.
Our systems are specially developed for industrial applications and are continuously optimized to reliably meet even the most demanding conditions. They enable precise measurement results, high process reliability and maximum efficiency.
Discover our different solutions - whether ring system, fluid system or mechanical balancing system - and find out which technology best suits your machine and your area of application.
Industries
Continuous rotor balance for maximum availability
Maximized productivity through intelligent balancing
Hofmann's active balancing systems significantly increase the availability of your machines and systems by extending maintenance intervals, reducing production downtime and avoiding unplanned stoppages. As a result, they ensure high productivity and cost-effectiveness in the long term. They are ideal for grinding, turning and milling machines, MillTurn applications and high-speed cutting systems as well as for printing rollers, laser engraving systems, centrifuges, separators, compressors, pumps and fans in the process industry.

- Monitoring the unbalance vibration
- Balancing with the aid of fluids, e.g. cooling lubricant, oil, water
- High-precision balancing thanks to ultra-fine fluid metering
- Space-saving integration of the ring bowl into the machine spindle or rotor
- Pre-balancing program for manual correction of the basic imbalance
- Retrofitting to existing machines
Field of application
- Automatic balancing during machine operation
- Compensation of operational imbalances

Active mechanical balancing system
Type MecBalancer MB 4002
The MecBalancer MB 4002 enables the automatic balancing of grinding wheels and grinding spindles during operation. Two electromechanically adjustable balancing weights in the balancing head precisely compensate for imbalances, while the non-contact energy transmission ensures wear-free operation. The balancing heads can be used flexibly for flange mounting or spindle installation and guarantee high-precision results without machine downtime.
Special features
- Balancing during rotation in one plane with unbalance monitoring
- Balancing by electromechanical adjustment of two balancing weights in the balancing head
- Balancing heads with different balancing capacities for flange mounting or spindle installation
- Contactless, wear-free energy transmission
Field of application
- Automatic balancing of grinding wheels and grinding spindles
- Balancing during operation without machine downtime
