Honey Extractor Frame Balancer
Before spinning, arrange frames to reduce the mass imbalance around the extractor shaft. This free calculator compares frame weights and positions with two-dimensional vector mathematics, then gives you clear instructions for moving the frames.
How to use the frame balancer
- Select the number of evenly spaced positions in your extractor.
- Enter each frame’s weight, or explicitly mark a position as empty.
- Keep any frames that cannot move locked in their current positions.
- If needed, add individual frame radii or require opposite loaded pairs in the advanced options.
- Select Find Best Balance, then follow the original-position-to-new-position instructions.
The calculator preserves each frame’s original identity. Its arrangement table always describes a frame by where it started, so a direction such as “Move the frame currently in Position 2 to Position 6” is unambiguous.
