Fans Balancing Driveshafts All in One Place.

“Because that’s what we do.”

“Fans Balancing Driveshafts All in One Place” Our director Dennis says it often and he means it. At Indrotech, it’s never been about big claims or flash. It’s about doing the work properly, with the right gear, in-house, by people who know what they’re doing.

There are three main services here.

Industrial Fans

We design them, build them, repair them and bring them back to life. Axial fans, centrifugal fans, high-pressure blowers. Our fans are out there in factories, manufacturing workshops, food plants and other demanding places. If needed, we’ll come to site.

Balancing

When something’s out of balance, it causes wear, damage and downtime. We do dynamic and static balancing for all kinds of rotating parts, big and small. It’s a job we take seriously because it helps everything else last longer.

Driveshafts

Tailshafts and driveshafts for trucks, 4WDs and industrial machines. We repair, rebuild or make them new. Every shaft is balanced and tested before it leaves the workshop.

The Workshop

This is a proper workshop, based in Hallam. We’ve got three industrial balancing machines and two driveshaft balancing machines. All backed up with the latest Schenck measuring units which are all calibrated yearly. Fabrication and welding bays. Machining machinery including two lathes, hydraulic presses, a brake press and a spray booth. Forming tools, custom built forming jigs and so on. It’s all here and it all gets used. No outsourcing. No delays. Just solid work by people who take pride in what they do.

That’s Indrotech.

A Bumpy ride

At Indrotech we feel it our duty to educate the industry on what faults we look for on a problematic driveshaft and how and why we rectify it.

Here is a fault that we find with a typical truck drive shafts.

The fault either comes from neglect to service it, normal wear and tear and believe it or not, even as new from the Original Manufacturer. This fault creates a massive vibration causing failure to the shaft components like; universal joints, centre bearings and even the driveshaft itself. That’s why we always stress that shafts need to run geometrically true to avoid this from happening.

Our first step is to look at the overall concentricity of the assembly starting from the straightness of the tube to the concentricity of the other components welded to either end of the tube. It does get technical and tedious to fix but it must be right, otherwise we come up with the problem that you saw in the video.

The benefit of our procedures is reducing this obvious runout down to 4 thousandths of an inch, equivalent to 1/10th of a millimetre. This is a standard service we practice within our Manufacturing Process let alone our Balancing Procedure.

This procedure helps with our final balancing process that in turn eliminates any vibration in the truck that is caused by the driveshaft. In the video we are running the shaft only at a couple of hundred RPM, imagine what effect it would have running at 3 or 4 thousand RPM. It would be dangerous on the road and more than just a bumpy ride for the driver; it could be catastrophic!

Quality guaranteed, Certificate of Balance upon request.

Dynamic Balancing of high speed rotating components increases bearing life, achieves smoother running conditions, increases service life and enhances the quality of the finished product.

To ensure quality workmanship, Indrotech periodically service and calibrate all balancing machines to continue to provide optimal productivity, accuracy and reliability.
