Machinery vibration balancing is the process of correcting an imbalance in a rotating component (a fan, rotor, turbine, or spindle). Imbalance occurs when the "mass center" of a rotor does not align with its "geometric center." As the rotor spins, this eccentric mass generates a centrifugal force that vibrates the machine, destroys bearings, and loosens foundations.
