Basic rotor balancing so called in-situ balancing can be performed even with simple, single channel vibration meter. It is very easy with Adash Balancer. Get a vibration meter (such as A4900 Vibrio from Adash) and get down to work with this App! Additional app possibility is to do balancing without vibration meter. Now you really don’t need any vibration meter. Your smart phone has simple acceleration sensor already and we are using them for taking the readings during balancing job. Please take this app as an emergency option for balancing. The mathematics behind it is unquestionable, but to do balancing with the smartphone is far far away from precision which you can get while balancing with Adash vibration analyzers such as VA3Pro or VA5Pro. Balanced rotor, fan, impeller etc. on rotating equipment is very important for reliable factory operation. Balancing is important part of machine condition monitoring and predictive maintenance based on vibration analysis.

Caliper is a pocket precision toolbox — the measuring tools you reach for around the house, in one clean app. FOUR INSTRUMENTS • Bubble Level — 1-axis and surface. A real glycerin vial that turns true at 0.0°. • Ruler — an on-screen scale in mm, cm, or inches. • Angle Finder — a protractor and a tilt clinometer, with roof pitch and grade. • Sound — a quick decibel check of the room. GUIDED JOBS Do not just read a number — get the job done. Hang a Picture, Level a Shelf, Roof Pitch, Level Furniture: each walks you through it and saves the result. A MEASUREMENT LOG Keep every reading and group them into projects — the kitchen shelf, the living-room frames. PRECISION Calibrate the level and ruler with a fine tilt offset, and feel a firm haptic tick the moment a reading is true. HONEST BY DESIGN No ads. No tracking. No accounts. Everything is measured on your device and stays there — Caliper collects no data. The four instruments are free, and the log keeps your most recent 25 readings. Caliper Pro unlocks every guided Job, the unlimited log with projects, and precision calibration.
