This document provides procedures for performing single plane and two plane rotor balancing. The procedures involve running a machine to obtain initial vibration measurements, attaching trial weights to determine their effect, inputting the measurement data into a balancing program to calculate the required balancing weights and positions, attaching the balancing weights, and checking vibration levels after balancing. It is emphasized that balancing must be done by an experienced specialist and that any trial or balancing weights must be firmly attached to avoid safety risks.

It is important that rotor balancing be performed by an experienced
rotating machinery specialist. The following describes the procedure for performing single or two plane balancing. The data is used in a balancing program for calculating the required balancing weight and position for attaching a balancing mass to the rotor. The vibration magnitude and phase angle must be obtained using a suitable balancing machine. For recommended balancing limits, see international standard: ISO-!"#.
