Downtime starts with vibration
Dynamic balancing
Dynamic balancing for headers, augers, shafts, fans, and other rotating components.
Downtime starts with vibration
Imbalance can contribute to bearing and gearbox wear, shaft and frame fatigue, cracking, premature component wear, and downtime. We start with the rotating component and its symptoms, then inspect, repair, machine, fabricate, and balance as the job requires.
Vibration that can accelerate bearing or gearbox wearUneven mass that can stress shafts, frames, and connected componentsCracking, premature wear, poor performance, or downtime around rotating equipment
Balance the component and check the damage around it
Fans, shafts, and rotating assemblies
Components with vibration or suspected uneven mass
Balancing connected to repair, rebuilding, or modification
Processes
Work involved
- Component and vibration review
- Condition inspection before balancing
- Repair or rebuilding coordination
- Dynamic balancing and verification
Start with the rotor, the symptom, and the connected damage
We inspect the component, repair it when needed, prepare the assembly, and run the balancing sequence.

How to start
Start with the part, drawing, or equipment
Include photos, material, dimensions, quantity, and what the job has to produce.
- Describe the component and operating symptoms
- Inspect condition and identify repair needs
- Prepare the component for balancing
- Balance and verify the completed work
Useful questions
What component information should I send?
Send the dimensions, weight, photos, mounting configuration, operating speed, application, and symptoms. Those details establish the balancing setup.
Can balancing connect to auger repair?
Yes. Repair, rebuilding, preparation, and balancing can be coordinated around the same rotating component.

How Barnes works
Repair first when the part needs it
Cracks, worn mounts, bent parts, or loose pieces can affect the setup. We address the approved repair before the final balance check.
- Inspect the component and setup
- Identify repair issues before balancing
- Record and verify the balancing work
