ProBal 500 Deluxe Crankshaft

Balancing Machine

The new and improved ProBal 500 Deluxe crankshaft balancing machine has been specifically designed to balance crankshafts. The machine comes equipped with all necessary standard tooling, including a heavy metal drilling cabinet that is now remove-able to allow extra length when needed.  The Overhead Drive System allows you to spin anywhere on the work-piece and rotates out of the way for easier loading and setup.

T&S has invested heavily in building the most sophisticated and sensitive system available for balancing, and we use the same system for balancing turbocharger rotors as for 15,000 lb electric motor armatures and GM locomotive crankshafts that are twenty feet long. Even those extremely large parts have only a six second sample time!

While the ProBal 500 Deluxe is primarily a crankshaft balancer, the machine is not limited to balancing crankshafts only. It is equally useful as an industrial balancer, fan balancer, electric motor balancer and general dynamic balancing machine.

The overhead drive option opens up the machine to balancing larger diameter parts with no surface on which to place a wrap around belt. This overhead drive is the same as that used by Stewart Warner and Pro-Bal for the last sixty years and is the most versatile drive system available and unique to the T&S/ProBal machines. The drill press used for the crankshaft balancing machine is a heavy-duty flat-way drill press that easily slides on Thompson bars for quick and effortless positioning for drilling.
