Who should attend
The Dynamic Balancing Course focuses on the fact that balancing is vitally important. A precision balanced machine exerts less stress on its bearings and structural components, which means it will run longer without requiring maintenance. Modern vibration analysers provide the means to perform the balance, but there is a lot to learn in order to be successful.
If you have to balance machines, then you need the dynamic balancing course. If you own a modern analyzer/balancer you have two choices: you can just take the readings and do what the analyzer tells you to do, or you can understand what you are doing and be prepared when things go wrong – and they will. We will ensure you understand the entire process, and give you the skills to return to the plant and perform precision balancing. Note: Although we will not have time to explain the operation of every model of vibration analyzer, we will provide you with the knowledge so that you will be successful with whatever model you own.

More about Online Learning We are pleased to offer the following online training courses and learning solutions that include community-based digital support and personal instructor mentoring. You can learn at your own pace, with assistance from an instructor, and optionally take the exam at the end of the course. If the high cost of travel and accommodation, and the time away from your family and work has stopped you from receiving the training that you need, then you should consider our distance learning courses. At a time that is convenient to you, and at a pace that works best for you, you can take our lessons and learn in a very similar way to attendees of our classroom courses. Depending upon the course, you can either view fully narrated slides, or you can watch a video of the class in action. Utilizing the popular iLearnVibration and iLearnAlignment products, we offer distance learning courses where you can view the lessons at your own page, in your own time, and get assistance from an instructor when any questions arise. Of course, you can just buy the products and learn at your own pace without assistance, but you are sure to benefit from interaction with the instructor. In certain courses, you can also interact with other students. These are not noisy, unprofessional videos taken from actual classrooms, each video was carefully created and edited so that you receive the full benefit. As you can see in this sample, you see the instructor talking and you see the slides (and simulators) being used in high resolution. All you need is a good Internet connection and a good monitor (1024×768 or better) and you will be ready to start learning. You can pause and rewind the video so that you can see and hear the instructor cover the topic again. In addition to the lessons, hands-on videos are presented where a variety of vibration analyzers are used to perform a range of tests. The tests include demonstrations of averaging (linear, rms, and peak hold), bump tests, run up and coast down tests, simple ODS tests, bearing fault detection tests, phase analysis, live spectrum analysis, time waveform analysis, and more. You can also perform activities defined by the instructor, and take quizzes that will be reviewed by the instructor. This is a great way to learn. The convenience of learning from home, and the reduced costs associated with travel, meals and accommodation make this a very attractive option – especially while the world’s economy is still recovering. Terms and Conditions We would assume that as the course and exam are delivered in English, your level of spoken and written English is sufficient for you to be able to attend the course and take the exam. If English is not your first language we can apply for extra time in advance of the course. Please notify us as soon as possible if there is any other reason why you need extra time in the exam (eg. Dyslexia), so we can see if we can arrange extra time for you in the exam. The exam body will need to be contacted to arrange this. Prices listed are exclusive of UK VAT, currently at 20%.
