ABSTRACT:
A system for balancing a rotatable member is provided by measuring forces and motion via accelerations at various locations of the system. The forces and moments are balanced through the use of matrix manipulation to determine appropriate counterbalance forces located at two axial positions of the rotatable member. As such, the system accounts for possible accelerations of a machine, such as a washing machine, which could not otherwise be accomplished if the motion of the machine was not measured. The system is therefore operable in conjunction with machines that are not rigidly attached to immovable objects, such as concrete floors. The algorithm permits the counterbalance forces to be calculated even though a washing machine is located on a moveable floor structure combined with carpet padding and carpets between the washing machine and a rigid support structure.
