There are 6 names in this directory beginning with the letter M.
Main axis of inertia
Depending on the unbalance condition of a rigid rotor, the main axis of inertia is offset and inclined in relation to the design axis.
Mass centering (balance centering)
Determination of the main axis of inertia of a rotor; information is used in the subsequent machining of the bearing journals, centering or reference surfaces so that the subsequent axis of rotation is as close as possible to the main axis of inertia.
Mass eccentricity
For a rigid rotor, the distance of the center of mass from the shaft axis.
Modal balancing
Method that uses the information about the bending eigenmodes in the vicinity of the respective critical speeds to balance elastic rotors.
Moment imbalance
Unbalance condition in which the central main axis of inertia intersects the shaft axis at the shear point; typically caused by two equally large unbalances that are 180 degrees opposite each other.
Multi-plane balancing
Processes that use more than two planes for balancing flexible rotors.
