WDB Engineering Group
Wilkinson Dynamic Balancing Ltd was formed in 1968 and are specialist balancers to aerospace, automotive, power generation and petrochemical industries as well as general engineers worldwide.
We offer extensive balancing capacities:
Vertical balancing up to 200kg and 1000mm diameter
- in both single and two plane configurations
Horizontal balancing to to 6000kg and 3500mm diameter and 6500mm length
- on both hard and soft bearing machines in end and belt drive configurations
And a range of other services:
Extensive machining facilities
A range of on-site services and plant maintenance
Why use Wilkinson Dynamic Balancing Ltd?
Most producers of rotating equipment are convinced of the necessity of balancing. Balancing can improve a rotors performance thus increasing the life of the machine, however this procedure is rarely planned or fitted into the design stage of the manufacturing process.
Wilkinson Dynamic Balancing Ltd aims to change this situation.
We offer an unrivalled depth of experience and are probably the UK's largest independent dynamic balancing service provider. The diversity of fields in which we are currently operating ranges from power generation, petrochemicals, aerospace, the automotive and food industries, machine tools and production manufacturing.
We use our expertise to give high quality services at competitive prices throughout the UK, Europe and Worldwide
- on a range of large and small milling and centre lathe machines.
- along with various other ancillary machines.

On Site Services
Wilkinson Dynamic Balancing Ltd offers the following on site services;
- Vibration analysis
- On-site balancing
- Laser shaft alignment
- Machine condition monitoring
- Gas booster on-site repairs with our C.O.R.G.I registered personnel
- Non-destructive testing
- Thermography
- On-site fan repair and replacement
- Site testing and commissioning
- 24 hour breakdown service
We also offer on site performance testing to assess the actual duty performed by any fan units, this allows us to establish any potential power and therefore cost savings that can be made
Vibration Monitors
Vibration sensors are used to monitor the vibration levels of all types of rotating machinery including fans, pumps and motors; in applications as varied as airports, hospitals and sports stadiums.
Wilkinson Dynamic Balancing Ltd now offer AC and 4-20mA versions of the HS-100 and HS-420 Sensor Series.
Thermography
The basis of infrared thermography is quite simple.
Benefits of a thermal inspection:
- Locates problems quickly without interrupting production
- Reduces costly unscheduled interruptions
- Extends the life of equipment by locating anomalies in components prior to failure
- Confirms that previous anomalies have been rectified
- Wear and tear on bearings, conveyors, motors, pumps and compressors can be monitored precisely by thermography.
- Thermography can highlight load imbalance, damaged connections or failure of mechanisms within electrical systems.
- Thermographic techniques are valuable to appraise plant structure, areas of major heat loss and obstructions and leakages within systems.
- Refractory inspection includes steel ladles, process furnaces, rotary kilns and other lined vessels which can be monitored to appraise overall condition
Non Destructive Testing
Penetrant Testing
Using a water washable process penetrant inspection is very versatile and is not restricted in any way by the geometry of the components under examination. The process is suitable for inspection of suspect local areas and large volume production inspection.
In addition to our factory facilities on-site penetrant inspections can be carried out by utilising the aerosol container technique.
Radiographic Inspection
Our radiographic equipment, both X-ray and Gamma-ray, is capable of penetrating steel up to a depth of 2 inches and aluminium to a depth of 8 inches over normal exposure times.
The equipment can also be used on a wide spectrum of ferrous and non-ferrous materials including plastics, rubbers and carbon fibres.
Ultrasonic Inspection
Sound waves are employed for the examination of materials. These waves possess properties very similar to visible light. They can be refracted, focused and reflected.
Ultrasonic inspection is ideally suited to the detection of imperfections in thicker sections of materials where radiographic examination may be impractical.
Typical applications:
Lamination and wall thickness checks
Weld examination checks
Raw material surveys
Avoids creating the hazards of radiation, which occur when using Gamma and X-Ray Radiation.
Magnetic Particle Inspection
Magnetic particle inspection is a method for detecting surface discontinuities in ferro-magnetic materials.
The component under test is first magnetised then a magnetic ink is applied to the area to be inspected and the resulting pattern evaluated.
Portable Appliance Testing
What is a Portable Appliance?
A portable appliance is any electrical device that is connected to the power supply with a flex and plug.
What does Portable Appliance Testing involve?
WDB Ltd’s fully qualified and experienced engineers will :
- inspect, test and certify all of your portable appliances
- provide informative advice as to their condition and safety
- issue a written report and test certificate
- cause you and your staff the minimum amount of disruption by providing a fast and professional service
- give a straightforward pricing structure with no hidden extras
PAT testing is required by law in the UK to comply with:
- Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
- Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999
- Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
- minimise the risk of fire and injury
- satisfy your insurance company
We believe that our regular PAT testing system is the best way to meet these regulations to protect both you, your employees and your customers.
WDB Ltd guarantees a friendly, prompt service at competitive rates and we will aim to beat any genuine quote.
Special Fans
We manufacture fans from the following list of materials:
- Mild steel 43a
- High tensile steel 50 a/b
- 304/316/321/310 stainless steel
- Aluminium
- Aluminium bronze
- Inconel
- Incaloy ds
- Incaloy 800h
- Hasteloy c276
- Titanium
Fans can also be lined with:
- Ectfe (haylar)
- Rubber (soft and hard)
- Teflon
- Ensicote
- PVC
And for more arduous duties we offer:
- X-rays of all butt welds
- NDT of impellers
- Hydrostatic testing
- Overspeed testing
- Performance testing
Inlet Vane Control Dampers
Inlet vane control dampers offer an energy saving alternative to the conventional damper.
Inlet vane control dampers alter the performance of a fan by pre-spinning gas before it enters the impeller as opposed to merely reducing the volume of gas entering the system (as is the case with conventional dampers).
When inlet vanes are fully open their resistance is negligible. As the vanes are closed the air enters the impeller with the same direction of rotation as the impeller. This causes a reduction in the total pressure generated across the impeller and the amount of power required, thus giving energy savings.
Flexible Connections
Gas and Industrial Fans manufacture flexible fabric connections/compensators for the most challenging of applications.
- high temperature or extreme cold
- oils and chemicals
- abrasion
- adverse weather conditions
We also manufacture stitched fabric bellows - please contact us for more details.
Dampers
Dampers are a simple solution for fast and exact measurement, balance and control of air flow.
Acoustics
Gas and Industrial Fans Ltd offer all types of acoustics to meet the demanding noise regulations now imposed on industry.
- Acoustic louvers allow air into a building (or fan room) but attenuate the noise emitted by the fans within.
- In smaller applications we recommend and supply multi-layered soft enclosures as opposed to standard metal enclosures.
- Where space is at a premium, acoustic jackets can be supplied that are fixed directly onto the casings of the equipment.
- For segregation of work spaces and reduction of noise from one work space to another we also offer acoustic dividers to suit any size.
- Additionally we offer a full range of fully welded silencers.
Anti-Vibration
To avoid transmission of vibration from impellers to steel structures or concrete footings anti-vibration mountings are essential.
