3.1 Installation of corrective unbalances
In the introduction, we said that the balancing operation was the search for a compromise between the effects of the unknown distribution of the rotor's physical unbalance and those of a finite set of corrective unbalances. These corrective unbalances are characterized by their intensity, angular position and axial location on the rotor.

For a simple symmetrical rotor, we are concerned here with the elementary...
