Excessive vibration in rotating machinery can cause unacceptable levels of noise and, more importantly, substantially reduce the life of shaft bearings. Hence, the ideal would be to reduce all unbalance and run the unit "smooth".

Dynamic Balancing allows sets of bearing pedestals to be connected to sensors and the unbalance at the two planes can be independently identified, thus reducing vibrations to a level that will not adversely effect the bearing life and will reduce noise levels to an acceptable level.
