Glossary of balancing technology
Permanent calibration
One-off calibration valid for all rotors within the weight and speed range of a force-measuring balancing machine.
Piezoelectric material
Hard ceramic material that produces an electrical charge when subjected to mechanical pressure. Used in force sensors to measure the effect of rotor imbalance in a balancing machine.
Polar diagram
Representation of the amount and angle of vibration and unbalance values measured at variable speed with the corresponding X and Y values in a circular diagram.
Polar compensation
Correction of the unbalance amount in a correction plane at a single angular position.
Practical equalization unit
Display of the unbalance amount for a specified compensation radius directly e.g. in mm drilling depth, number of washers etc..
