Balancing as a Service (BaaS)
Regional support. Global precision.
Precision component balancing delivered on-demand
What is BaaS?
Balancing as a Service (BaaS) reimagines component balancing as an on-demand service for one-off or batch parts. Our regional centers can work with you to find the right approach to ensure your parts meet specifications.
Built on the legacy of Burke Porter’s Universal Balancing, Cimat and Titan, our balancing solutions have served low and high-volume manufacturers for a combined 125+ years. Our BaaS elevates service-level expectations and ensures your equipment stays in peak condition with minimal effort on your part.
Why BaaS?
Balancing as a Service frees you from managing heavy capital outlay or specialized equipment. With our seasoned team, advanced tools, and remote support capabilities, we deliver fast, accurate balancing—wherever and whenever you need it. BaaS streamlines operations, reduces equipment downtime, and ensures consistent quality across your rotor-driven systems. Trust in decades of credibility and engineering proficiency to empower your operations without the hassle. And, if you would benefit from having a dedicated balancing machine on your premises, then we can provide a new standard or customized machine that meets your specific production requirements.
Precision balancing delivered right where you need it.
Whether you’re balancing a single prototype or producing high volumes, our regional service centers in the U.S., Western Europe, and Eastern Europe provide end-to-end balancing support with industry-leading turnaround times, precision, and tooling flexibility.

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.

We also have a series of standard balancing machines “ready to go”
Whether you’re facing a challenge that calls for a custom-engineered solution or you quickly need a reliable, off-the-shelf system, we’ve got you covered.
Our Cimat and Burke Porter, formerly known as Universal Balancing in the UK, branded balancing machines cover a wide range of applications—designed with the same precision, built with the same commitment to excellence.
