Balancing Machines for Marine Applications
Balance crankshafts, cams, propellers, drive shafts, prop-drive shafts, fan assemblies, and much more..."Remember, if it rotates, you can balance it!" |
CWT builds machines that can balance virtually any rotating part of a boat or boat engine: |
Proper balancing of marine applications, especially in competition, can separate the winners from the losers. There are many parts that require proper balance in both inboard and outboard applications. Crank balancing is the most often thought of application, but any rotating part, such as crankshafts, camshafts, propellers, flywheels, fans, propeller shafts, steering shafts, etc. can benefit from proper balancing. High-RPM applications require critical tolerances to prevent failures at inopportune moments. Proper balancing can prevent vibration, heat build-up, and prolong bearing life. Properly balanced components in racing applications can be critical when it comes to whether one will stand on the podium or not. A properly balanced propeller can add speed and efficiency that would otherwise be wasted.
