Glossary of balancing technology
There are 13 names in this directory beginning with the letter C.
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.
Cardan shaft drive
Mechanical drive of a balancing machine consisting of a motor, optional gearbox and cardan shaft. The cardan shaft is connected to one end of the rotor to be balanced.
Center of mass or center of gravity
The point in an axially and radially extended (rigid) rotor at which its inertia effect against linear displacements can be replaced by a point mass.
Centrifugal balancing machine
Machine that generates measured values for the unbalance due to the centrifugal forces of a rotating rotor mounted in it.
Comparative precision
For a balancing machine, a measure of the quality of the unbalance measurement for repeat measurements under changed conditions; evaluation using statistical methods.
Compliant rotor
Rotor which, due to an unbalance distribution and depending on the speed, exhibits deformations that can no longer be neglected.
Component equalization
Correction of the unbalance at at least two angular positions if the angular positions are specified in a correction plane.
Concentricity deviation at low speed
The concentricity deviation of a rotor surface measured at a low speed at which no significant vibration caused by unbalance occurs; value is usually compensated for measurements at variable speed.
