Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for balancing bodies of rotation in which the body is mounted for rotation while supported at two points. Two load cells are located at each point for producing an unbalance signal. One load cell at each point is connected to measuring electronics which indicate the amount of unbalance while the other cell is connected to processing electronics which indicate amount and location and transmit a signal to a processing machine.
