What is the Unbalance Reduction Ratio?

The unbalance reduction ratio is one of the most important indicators of a balancing machine's efficiency and effectiveness. This ratio expresses the percentage reduction in unbalance measured on the rotor before the balancing process. Simply put, it's a measure of how much initial unbalance you've eliminated. A high unbalance reduction ratio indicates the accuracy and performance of your machine. For example, reducing an initial unbalance of 50 grams to 5 grams at the end of the balancing process means you've achieved a 90% reduction ratio. A good ratio, accepted in the industry and representative of efficiency, is generally 90% or higher.

This ratio is directly related not only to machine quality but also to the accuracy of the process. Adding or removing the correct correction weight at the correct location increases this ratio. At MBS Balans Sanayi, the machines we produce aim to achieve high reduction ratios by minimizing unbalance even in a single balancing operation, thanks to high-precision measuring systems and powerful software. This saves our customers time and ensures their rotors are operating at peak performance. A high unbalance reduction ratio increases overall machine efficiency, reduces vibration, and extends bearing life, providing significant long-term benefits.
