Abstract
A prototype of a dynamic balancing machine has been developed and put to use in the mechanical engineering laboratory of the Faculty. The goal of this project is twofold: first, to cooperate with the Mechanical Engineering Department in offering to industry balancing services for industrial rotors and, secondly, to promote the teaching of static and dynamic, analytical and experimental balancing techniques in both graduate and undergraduate courses. The machine consists of a non-conventional mechanical system presenting some constructive and methodological advantages with respect to the conventional machines. The results achieved when balancing industrial rotors with the prototype are similar to those obtained with the commercial machines available.
