Balancing of Rotating Masses

The document discusses balancing of rotating masses. Balancing is reducing or eliminating unbalanced forces in machines so that vibration, noise, discomfort and other issues are minimized. Static balancing involves arranging masses such that their combined center of mass is on the axis of rotation. Dynamic balancing accounts for both centrifugal force and couple such that their resultants are balanced. An example problem is given to find the angular positions of three masses on a disc to achieve balance.

Balancing
Rotary and reciprocating masses will develop
unbalanced forces due to inertia force.

Balancing is designing or modifying m/c’s so that unbalanced


forced are reduced to acceptable levels (or) eliminated.
