Horizontal, force-measuring balancing machine
For balancing all types of rotors - from the smallest rotors to large complete units
Hofmann's universal, force-measuring balancing machines can be used to reliably balance horizontal rotors of all types and sizes. They are designed for maximum precision and efficiency in industrial processes.
Rotors are stored on their bearing journals for balancing, mounted on auxiliary shafts or machined as complete units. The Hofmann force measurement principle ensures precise measurement results and high machine availability thanks to permanent calibration.
The machines are suitable for a wide range of applications, from small precision rotors to large, complex assemblies. Expandable options such as flexible rotor holders and protective devices make the horizontal balancing machine particularly versatile and precisely adaptable to the customer's individual requirements.
Rotor types
Automotive transmissions Steam turbines Torque converter Electric anchor Electric motors Aircraft engines Aircraft tires and wheels Forestry & agricultural rotors Gas turbines Generators Industrial gearboxes Crankshafts Fans and ventilators Paper and print rollers Pumps and compressors disk-shaped rotors Grinding wheels Separators and centrifuges Spindles Turbo generators Turbo compressors Turbocharger Train wheels and wheelsets
Flexible, robust, unbeatably precise
The all-rounder in balancing for all types of rotors
The horizontal, force-measuring balancing machines from Hofmann impress with their universal applicability and maximum measuring accuracy. The proven Hofmann force measuring principle ensures precise results through permanent calibration without the need for time-consuming calibration runs. Piezo force transducers in the force flow guarantee maximum sensitivity and the best measurement results.
The flexible rotor holder - whether on bearing journals, auxiliary shafts or as a complete unit - opens up a particularly wide range of applications. Typical workpieces include electric armatures, spindles, fan and generator rotors, turbine and compressor rotors, rollers and crankshafts.
The machines have a robust design and therefore offer very high availability even in continuous industrial use. Customers benefit from a durable solution that optimally combines precision, efficiency and flexibility.

Type R-7.1 / H-9.1
The horizontal, force-measuring balancing machines R-7.1 and H-9.1 from Hofmann have been developed for high-precision balancing of small to very small rotors. The R-7.1 is specially designed for extremely small components such as dental turbines or small electric armatures up to a weight of 200 g. The H-9.1 covers the range up to 5 kg and is therefore suitable for a broader spectrum of small rotors. Both versions impress with the highest precision and enable reliable results in applications where the finest measuring accuracy is required.
