High Speed Balancing
March 18, 2021
Industrial compressors are run at incredibly high speeds under immense pressure every day. This stress causes the rotors inside to naturally warp and bend, creating imbalances over time due to their dynamic nature.

Consequently, there are long-standing and recommended balancing practices in place to prevent these problems.
