Inboard rotor

Rotor where the center of gravity is located between the bearings.

Index balancing or tooling compensation

Compensation for tooling unbalance and for unbalance caused by clearance and runout in the mounting surfaces between tooling and a rotor to be balanced to identify the true rotor unbalance. Therefor the rotor will be turned against the tooling between consecutive measurements.

Indexing

Turning the rotor into a required angular position.

Initial unbalance

Unbalance of any kind that exists in the rotor before balancing.

Isotropic bearing

Bearing system with identical dynamic properties in each radial direction.
