ABSTRACT:
A rotor to be balanced has an annular cavity containing two balls free to roll around the cavity. An initially inert thermo-setting adhesive is coated around the cavity. The rotor is rotated to a speed just above its first resonant frequency of vibration and the balls take up balancing positions in the cavity counter balancing the out of balance of the shaft. The adhesive is activated by a temporarily placed external heat source to permanently lock the balls in the balancing position so that the shaft is permanently balanced.
