EKC Engineering's balancing machine build continues (Apr 2021).

Hobby software gave up on them, so they got a Balanset-1A kit. Looks rough, works right — vibration analysis results are stable and predictable ⚙️

New design: steel ribbon suspension instead of bearings. CNC aluminum frame, belt drive. Phase is solid, balancing works 🛠️

Sometimes function beats form.

EKC Engineering built a soft-bearing balancing stand from scratch for a Wankel rotor. CAD design → CNC aluminum machining → two-plane sensor setup. ⚙️

Clean build. For portable work, a Balanset-1A with vibration analysis sensors does two-plane balancing without a dedicated stand. Different tools, same physics. 🛠️

Balancing a threshing drum on a Don-1500B combine using a Balanset-1A ⚙️ Two vibration sensors, laptop on a folding table in the field.

Two types of imbalance exist — static (mass center offset) and moment (inertia axis skew). Both show up on long drums like this, so two-plane vibration analysis is the way to go. 🛠️

Portable setup, real measurements, field conditions 📊
