The Organisation
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.
We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination, and it is girls who are most affected.
Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.
We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years and are now active in more than 70 countries.

Equilibrio in situ
La Nivelación de Partes Móviles: Esencial para una Operación Sin Vibraciones
¿ 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 irregularidad en un componente giratorio . Y créeme, ignorarlo puede costarte caro .
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 un neumático con peso desigual. Al acelerar, empiezan las sacudidas, el timón vibra y resulta incómodo circular así. En maquinaria industrial ocurre algo similar, pero con consecuencias considerablemente más serias:
Aumento del desgaste en soportes y baleros
Sobrecalentamiento de partes críticas
Riesgo de colapsos inesperados
Paradas imprevistas que exigen arreglos costosos
En resumen: si no se corrige a tiempo, un pequeño desequilibrio puede convertirse en un gran dolor de cabeza .
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 fiable para lograr un desempeño estable.
Equilibrado estático
Se usa principalmente en piezas como llantas, platos o poleas . Aquí solo se corrige el peso excesivo en una única dirección. Es ágil, práctico y efectivo para determinados sistemas.
Corrección del desequilibrio: cómo se hace
Taladrado selectivo: se perfora la región con exceso de masa
Colocación de contrapesos: como en ruedas o anillos de volantes
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 accesibles y muy efectivas, como :
✅ Balanset-1A — Tu aliado portátil para equilibrar y analizar vibraciones
¡Vendemos dispositivos de equilibrado!
Somos fabricantes, elaborando en tres países a la vez: España, Argentina y Portugal.
✨Nuestros equipos son de muy alta calidad y al ser fabricantes y no intermediarios, nuestro precio es inferior al de nuestros competidores.
Disponemos de distribución global sin importar la ubicación, lea la descripción de nuestros equipos de equilibrio en nuestro sitio web.
El equipo de equilibrio es móvil, de bajo peso, lo que le permite ajustar cualquier elemento giratorio en todas las circunstancias.
