Static Balancing

Static Balancing

A system of rotating masses is said to be in static balance if the combined mass centre of the system lies on the axis of rotation.

Axis of Rotation

Static Balancing

Dynamic Balancing

A system of rotating masses is in dynamic balance when there does not exist any resultant centrifugal force as well as resultant couple.

Resultant Couple

Balancing of Reciprocating Mass.

  • Acceleration ( a) and force (F ) of the reciprocating mass of a slider crank mechanism.

Balancing of Reciprocating

Primary Balancing

Primary Force

Secondary Balancing

Secondary Force

  • For complete balancing of reciprocating mass. Primary force, primary couple, secondary force, secondary couple, all must be balanced.
