Calibration mass
Defined mass to adjust a balancing machine with a specific rotor or to adjust a balancing machine for a specific rotor.
Calibration rotor (master rotor)
Adjustment rotor derived from a real rotor with defined positions for the application of calibration masses; used for the regular inspection of a balancing machine.
Smallest achievable residual imbalance (KER)
The smallest value of residual unbalance that can be achieved with a balancing machine.
Compensate
Suppression of an error or an undesired effect.
Component equalization
Correction of the unbalance at at least two angular positions if the angular positions are specified in a correction plane.
Force-measuring balancing machine
Machine on which rotors are balanced below the critical speed of the rotor-balancing machine bearing system.
Critical speed
A characteristic speed at which resonance occurs in the rotor-bearing system.
