Description
The HOFMANN balancing scales
AW 1000 are designed for static
balancing of disc-shaped rotating
bodies - especially for grinding
wheels.
The grinding wheel set is mounted
onto a balancing arbor and put into
the scale frame. The scale frame
with its steel cutting edges rests on
the seats of the base frame. This
kind of bearing does not have any
rolling friction. Therefore a high
balancing quality can be achieved
using this principle.
The angular position of the unbalance is being evaluated by turning the
grinding wheel until the scale frame
is balanced. Then the size of the
unbalance is being evaluated by
means of a moving weight attached
to the scale frame. A balancing
gauge allows for the positioning of
the balancing weights integrated into
the wheel flange.

Using this balancing method results
in a normal surface quality of ground
workpieces.
Higher quality requirements can be
achieved when using the balancing
instruments EasyBalancer EB 3002
or MinIbalancer MI 2000. These portable instruments balance the grinding wheel in-situ mounted inside the
grinding machine.
The HOFMANN balancing scales
AW 1000 are available in three different sizes. A balancing arbor is not
scope of the standard delivery. It
may be manufactured upon
customer’s request.
