What are the drive systems used in balancing machines, and how to choose the right one?

Balancing machines generally use two main drive systems: belt drive and shaft drive.

Belt drive system transfers power through a belt around the rotor’s outer surface, making it ideal for small to medium-sized parts. This system minimizes vibration and ensures high measurement precision.

Shaft drive system directly connects the rotor to the shaft for rotation. It is suitable for large and heavy rotors, providing high torque power and maximum accuracy for demanding applications.

Choosing the right drive system depends on rotor weight, size, and balancing accuracy requirements.
