Balancing Extension Module
The Balancing extension module is an optional module for the Dynamix 2500
data collector. You install the extension module with the Balancing Secure Digital
(SD) storage card.
Balancing application resolves single-plane, two-plane, and static-couple balances
with high precision. You can use the Dynamix 2500 data collector coupled with a
speed-measuring device such as a strobe light or laser tachometer.
The Dynamix 2500 data collector Balancing extension module provides a simple,
direct method to balance your rotating machinery in one or two planes. You can
use the internal laser tachometer in the data collector or an external laser
tachometer, optical tachometer, or strobescope for measuring phase during the
balance run.
