The Grinding Wheel Must Be Tested For Static Balance Before Installation

The grinding wheel must be tested for static balance before installation to ensure that the grinding wheel will not vibrate due to imbalance when rotating at high speed, affecting the processing quality and machine tool accuracy. In severe cases, it may also cause damage to the machine tool and breakage of the grinding wheel. The purpose of the static balance check is to make the center of gravity of the grinding wheel coincide with its axis of rotation, so as to avoid unnecessary vibration during high-speed rotation. According to relevant standards, the maximum imbalance of the grinding wheel shall not exceed a certain range, such as 15 to 20 mm, to ensure the safe use of the grinding wheel. During the static balance check, if the grinding wheel is unbalanced, its heavier part will turn downward during rotation. At this time, it can be adjusted by moving the position of the balance block to achieve a balanced state.
