Application: Crankshafts
Automotive Crankshaft Balancer BTI builds crankshaft balancing machines for V, inline, and electric-drive engine production, configured around each customer’s bobweight tooling and correction method. Depending on the application, correction is applied by drilling or milling material from the crankshaft counterweights to bring the part into balance tolerance. Machine rate and station count are set by the customer’s build volume, so the same core platform can be configured for lower-volume specialty runs or high-volume automotive production lines.Frequently Asked Questions
What does a crankshaft balancer do?
It measures unbalance in a rotating crankshaft and corrects it by drilling or milling material from the counterweights, so the part is within tolerance before the engine is assembled. This equipment is also called a crank balancer or an engine balancing machine.
What engine types does this crank balancing machine handle?
BTI builds crankshaft balancing machines for V, inline, and electric-drive engine production. Each unit is configured around your bobweight tooling and correction method, so exact specifications follow your crankshaft and production line.
How do you decide between drill and mill correction?
Correction method follows the application. Drilling or milling material from the crankshaft counterweights brings the part into balance tolerance. BTI configures the machine around whichever method fits your counterweight design and production requirements.
Can this crank balancer handle both low- and high-volume production?
Yes. Machine rate and station count are set by your build volume, so the same core platform can be configured for lower-volume specialty runs or scaled up for high-volume automotive production lines.
