Panhandle Performance

Computerized Crank Balancer

This is our Computerized Crank Balancer. To balance a crank shaft, the harmonic balancer and flexplate or flywheel assembly are first installed on the crankshaft. The assembly is then mounted on the balancing machine. Special weights and sensors are then attached.

This machine spins the crankshaft to approximately 500 RPM. Highly accurate sensors send crankshaft dynamics information to a computer program. This information is used to determine where material needs to be added to or removed from the crank to achieve optimal balance. Panhandle Performance first balances all parts to within a gram and then the assembly is balanced to one gram or better. Internal balancing with mallory metal is available. We can sell you a fully balanced assembly or you can send us yours. Call for a quote.
