World's Leading Supplier of Soft- & Hard-Bearing ... - IRD Balancing

World’s Leading Supplier of Soft- & Hard-BearingBalancing Machines & Instruments

AccuracyHistoryAccurate balancing is essential to the operation,maintenance and repair of rotating equipment. Whetheryou are dealing with a turbine in a power plant, a fan ina chemical facility, an armature from an electric motor,or a roll in a paper mill, your rotors need to be balancedas precisely as possible.Our products can accommodate a range of rotor weightsfrom a fraction of a kilogram to over 300 000 kilograms(.022 to 660 000 pounds). What we know about precisionbalancing allows us to recommend the best soft- orhard-bearing answer for your application.We have been in the balancing business for nearly50 years. As IRD Mechanalysis, we set the industrystandard for balancing machinery and instrumentation.Almost every major balancing innovation or technologyhad its start with us.Now, as IRD Balancing (IRD LLC), we are the only majormanufacturer to offer a complete range of both softandhard-bearing machines, as well as a full line ofinstruments. We have over 5000 systems installed invirtually every industrialized nation in the world. Thesystems we sell are supported by a global network ofservice, support, applications expertise and trainingprograms. We are historically proven and we arecharging ahead into the future.We began developing new balancingtechnologies 50 years ago. We haven’tstopped since.
