Unit 4: Balancing of Rotating Masses
• Static and dynamic balancing
• Balancing of single rotating mass by balancing
masses in same plane and in different planes.
• Balancing of several rotating masses by
balancing masses in same plane and in different
planes.
• This centrifugal force acts radially outwards and thus produces bending moment on
the shaft.
• In order to counteract the effect of this force, a balancing mass (m2) may be
attached in the same plane of rotation as that of disturbing mass (m1) such that
the centrifugal forces due to the two masses are equal and opposite.
