SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the relationship between angular velocity and rotor imbalance correction. It is established that angular velocity does not influence the calculations for the size and placement of correction weights. When these calculations are performed accurately, the rotor achieves balance, ensuring that forces on bearings remain unaffected by angular velocity. This conclusion emphasizes the importance of precise mathematical calculations in rotor balancing.

concerning a rotor with an imbalance, how does the angular velocity of the rotor affect calculations about the size and placement of the correction weight?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
angular velocity doesn't affect it
 
the higher the angular velocity - the greater forces on bearings. if you calculate the size and placement of the correction weight mathematically accurate, a rotor will have no imbalance, so force on bearings won't be dependent on angular velocity.
