    The document discusses different types of mass unbalance that can occur in rotating machinery: static unbalance is caused by uneven mass distribution around the axis of rotation; couple unbalance results from opposing heavy spots on opposite sides of the axis; and dynamic unbalance is uneven mass distribution combined with eccentric positioning of the axis of rotation. The conclusion notes that unbalance of any type can lead to high vibration, noise, reduced machine life, and increased maintenance needs for the affected equipment.

    UNBALANCE DEFINTION

    Rotating Machinery Mass Unbalance


    It is the uneven distribution of mass around the axis of rotation
    During this condition the rotor mass center (axis of inertia) and geometric
    center (axis of rotation) are not aligned.
