Glossary Balancing Technology

Local mass eccentricity

Distance between the center of mass of (imaginary) thin rotor disks and the shaft axis.

Low-speed balancing

Balancing of a flexible rotor when it is rigid still.

Low-speed or slow roll runout

Distortion of the runout of a rotor surface measured at low speed, where there are no substantial unbalance induced vibrations yet. Value will usually be compensated for measurements at variable speed.
