Balancing is an essential technique applied to mechanical parts of rotational functionality (wheels, shafts, flywheels…), in order to eliminate the detected irregularities found within it, and that may cause excessive vibrations during operation, and act as undesirable disturbances on the system being in use. Such irregularities may rise due to the inhomogeneous distribution of material within the part, bending and deflection of rotating shafts, and eccentricity of mass from the axis of rotation of the rotating disks and rotors.
These irregularities lead to small eccentric masses that disturb mass distribution of the part, and the last generate centrifugal forces when the part is in rotation; the magnitude of these forces increases rapidly with speed of rotation, and enhances vibrations level during operation, and cause serious problems.
