Balance Planes and Weight Positions

Use these options to set the type of balance job (single or dual
plane) and specify a weight position reference system i.e. where on
the rotor you will place the balance weights in relation to a reference
mark.

Weight Position (Reference Mark)

Performing balancing operations on a rotor requires you to establish
a positioning system for balance weights. To do this you must first
establish a reference mark somewhere on the rotor circumference
then choose the weight positioning system that is most appropriate
for your balance job.
Degrees
Measure the angle in degrees (0° to 359° ) from your reference mark.
The radius of the rotor must stay constant.
Circumference arc
Measure the linear distance around the outside of the rotor from the
reference mark to the balance weights.
# Fixed positions
Create a fixed number of attachment positions, e.g. drilled and
tapped holes, that are equally spaced on a fixed radius from the
center of rotation.
To assist with the physical balancing setup you can use a different
weight position system for each balancing plane if desired.
