Measure
Tachometer & Proximeter Probes
The HGL Spin Rig is supplied, as standard, with a single, once per revolution, tachometer probe mounted at the motor, plus two pairs of proximity probes mounted on the configurable pedestals.
Accelerometer Mounting Fixtures
Industry standard fixing holes are provided on the bearing pedestals to allow for the fitting of most accelerometer types.
Probe Outputs
The four proximeter probes, tachometer and three optional accelerometers can be connected to external data acquisition equipment using the BNC connectors at the rear.
Data Acquisition
The HGL Dragonfly Acquisition Module combined with HGL Hawkeye software is the perfect choice for use with the Spin Rig. The Spin Rig is also compatible with many third party data acquisition systems.
Data Analysis
HGL's Aurora software is an ideal analysis tool for data acquired using HGL's data acquisition systems.
Trim Balancing
HGL's Trim Balancing Pro software enables users of any experience to successfully carry out trim balancing operations on a wide variety of machinery types. The Spin Rig is the ideal partner for Trim Balance Pro
Simulate
Configurable Flywheels & Bearing Pedestals
Countless scenarios and applications can be modeled using the pedestals and flywheels (two supplied) configured in a variety of different applications.
Imbalance Simulations
A large number of imbalance arrangements can be produced using the provided set weights to balance or unbalance the two flywheels.
Shaft Misalignment
A variety of shaft misalignment situations can be simulated using the two independently height adjustable bearing pedestals.
Automatic & Manual Motor Control
Shaft speed and ramp rate can be controlled in both automatic and manual modes using the programmable multi function controller unit.
Train
Using the Spin Rig as a Training Tool
The Spin Rig is an extremely useful tool for demonstrating vibration phenomena and training staff in vibration monitoring and analysis techniques. It is also a great platform for providing users with experience in trim balancing operations.
HGL Spin Rig Workshops
HGL Dynamics is able to provide staff experienced in vibration monitoring and with expert familiarity of the HGL hardware and software tools.
HGL Dynamics offers training workshops for configuring the Spin Rig to a variety of applications, fitting accelerometers, acquiring measurements and analysing results.
Workshops can be provided either at one of our global offices, or at most customers' facilities. Please contact one of our offices for further information.
