Glossary of balancing technology

All | A B D E F G H I J K L M N P Q R S T U V W Z
Shaft or rotor axis
Straight through the centers of the bearing journal cross-sections.
Step-by-step balancing during assembly
Method for balancing a rotor that consists of several removable components. The unbalance is corrected on the last mounted component until the rotor is complete.
Gravity balancing machine (center of gravity balance)
Machine that generates a measured value for the unbalance due to the gravitational effect of a non-rotating rotor mounted in it.
Side spindle balancing machine
Design of a balancing machine in which the rotor is mounted horizontally overhanging on a balancing spindle
Rigid rotor
With a rigid rotor, the deformations due to unbalance distribution remain negligible up to the maximum operating speed.
Static imbalance
Unbalance condition for which the central main axis of inertia is displaced parallel to the shaft axis.
