About the Balance Tolerance Calculator
This tool helps you determine the permissible residual unbalance of a rotating component, expressed in gram-millimeters (g·mm). By entering the balance quality grade (ISO 1940/1 standard), the component’s operational speed (RPM), and its weight (kg), you’ll get a calculated tolerance value.
This tolerance represents the maximum allowable imbalance that can remain in the part after balancing. Staying within this range helps reduce vibration, extend bearing life, and improve overall machine performance.
Tolerance Calculator
- Single and dual-plane balancing
- FFT analysis
- Measurement of effective machine vibrations in the 10-1000Hz band; the instrument (in accordance with ISO 2572-1974) will classify its condition on a four-level scale as: good, satisfactory, temporarily acceptable, or unacceptable.
- Bearing condition analysis program – Option: database of approximately 30,000 bearings
- Balancing of rotors of any mass and shape directly in the machine. The rotor is not removed from the machine!
- Protocol printing via any PC computer or WiFi printer. All measurement activities are stored in the instrument’s data memory at the operator’s request.

How is
balancing critical?
The balancing process is a crucial element of every production or operation process involving rotating components. An important aspect of balancing is also that equipment used in production processes requires regular diagnostics to operate properly and remain resistant to failures. The best solution is to implement preventive measures that will protect them from breakdowns and costly production downtime.
