  • El Equilibrado de Piezas: Clave para un Funcionamiento Eficiente

    ¿ Has percibido alguna vez temblores inusuales en un equipo industrial? ¿O sonidos fuera de lo común? Muchas veces, el problema está en algo tan básico como una falta de simetría en un elemento móvil. Y créeme, ignorarlo puede costarte bastante dinero .

    El equilibrado de piezas es un paso esencial en la construcción y conservación de maquinaria agrícola, ejes, volantes y elementos de motores eléctricos. Su objetivo es claro: impedir oscilaciones que, a la larga, puedan provocar desperfectos graves.

    ¿Por qué es tan importante equilibrar las piezas?
    Imagina que tu coche tiene una llanta mal nivelada . Al acelerar, empiezan los temblores, el manubrio se mueve y hasta puede aparecer cierta molestia al manejar . En maquinaria industrial ocurre algo similar, pero con consecuencias considerablemente más serias:

    Aumento del desgaste en soportes y baleros
    Sobrecalentamiento de componentes
    Riesgo de fallos mecánicos repentinos
    Paradas no planificadas y costosas reparaciones
    En resumen: si no se corrige a tiempo, una mínima falla podría derivar en una situación compleja.

    Métodos de equilibrado: cuál elegir
    No todos los casos son iguales. Dependiendo del tipo de pieza y su uso, se aplican distintas técnicas:

    Equilibrado dinámico
    Ideal para piezas que giran a alta velocidad, como rotores o ejes . Se realiza en máquinas especializadas que detectan el desequilibrio en varios niveles simultáneos. Es el método más preciso para garantizar un funcionamiento suave .
    Equilibrado estático
    Se usa principalmente en piezas como llantas, platos o poleas . Aquí solo se corrige el peso excesivo en una única dirección. Es rápido, sencillo y eficaz para ciertos tipos de maquinaria .
    Corrección del desequilibrio: cómo se hace
    Taladrado selectivo: se quita peso en el punto sobrecargado
    Colocación de contrapesos: tal como en neumáticos o perfiles de poleas
    Ajuste de masas: típico en bielas y elementos estratégicos
    Equipos profesionales para detectar y corregir vibraciones
    Para hacer un diagnóstico certero, necesitas herramientas precisas. Hoy en día hay opciones económicas pero potentes, tales como:

    ✅ Balanset-1A — Tu aliado portátil para equilibrar y analizar vibraciones

  • ¡Vendemos equipos de equilibrio!
    Fabricamos directamente, construyendo en tres naciones simultáneamente: España, Argentina y Portugal.
