EXPANDING AND CONTRACTING HYDRAULIC
  BALANCING ARBORS AND ADAPTERS

A common and widely used practice for assembling components that are to be balanced is that of heating or freezing parts to facilitate their assembly onto hard arbors prior to balancing, then pressing them off after balancing. This procedure is time consuming, inexact and has limited repeatability at best. Although accepted for decades as the method of choice, it is not conducive to modern quality, repeatability and traceability systems such as SPC used in today's ISO cultures.

Kell-Strom's Hydraulic Balancing Adapters overcome these and other problems associated with old style solid arbors and are the tool of choice for aircraft engine components as well as other precision balancing or work holding requirements.

Hydraulic Balancing Adapters
  • LIGHTER CONSTRUCTION THAN SIMILAR SYSTEMS LESSENS EFFECT OF MASS DAMPENING OF VIBRATION(S) DURING BALANCING.
  • TORQUE SCREWDRIVER (INCLUDED) IS USED FOR ASSEMBLING AND ALLOWS:
  • 50 MILLIONTHS REPEATABILITY
  • SPC RECORDING OF ASSEMBLY PRESSURE (INDIRECTLY) BY TORQUE
  • GUARANTEED DUPLICATION OF FACTORY AND FIELD SERVICE CENTERS' ASSEMBLY CONDITIONS
  • LESS EXPENSIVE THAN SIMILAR SYSTEMS BY AS MUCH AS 40%.
  • DUAL BEARING CONTACT SURFACES ON ARBOR ALLOW FOR SUPERIOR ALIGNMENT AND POSITIONING OF PART.
  • FIELD SERVICEABLE HYDRAULIC FLUID AND PISTON.
  • RUN OUT OF .0002 INCH OR LESS ON ADAPTER.
  • ADAPTABLE TO BOTH VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL BALANCING EQUIPMENT.
