In the low-speed two-stroke diesel engine, there are unwanted vibrations induced by the guide force moments, unbalanced moments, propeller, axial thrust, and hull beam.

Unwanted vibrations result in abnormal occurrences like cracking, abnormal wear on the rotating parts, mechanical-strength reduction, failure of the electric components, and limited engine performance.

Ultimately, the purpose of Electric Balancer is to maintain the ship, improve the equipment durability, boost the economical operation of the ship, and enhance the crew members’ living environment by eliminating and reducing the unwanted vibrations of the ship caused by the use of diesel power, before the vibrations transfer to other equipment.
