At How Many Points in the Material Should We Use Compensating Weight?

In the dynamic balancing process, the number of compensation points you use for weight is directly dependent on the part's geometry and dynamic characteristics. For standard dynamic balancing, compensation weights are typically used in at least two different planes to correct the mass unbalance of the rotating part. This approach is critical not only for eliminating unbalance at the center of mass but also for correcting moment unbalances that occur during rotation. Two-plane balancing is a sufficient and most effective solution for most rotor and shaft-type parts.

However, the balancing process may require additional points for more complex parts. For example, with wide and segmented fans or complex rotors consisting of multiple components, weights may need to be distributed across different points to completely eliminate unbalance. In such cases, using more compensation points allows for a more effective distribution of the unbalance and minimizes the final vibration. As a result, the physical structure and operating conditions of the part must be considered to determine the correct number of compensation points. At MBS Balans Sanayi, we are ready to provide you with technical support to determine the most accurate compensation method and number of points.
