In this thesis is discussed a problem of mass imbalance of the rigid rotor when rotating around fixed axis, due to which dynamic forces appear at the bearing points, causing vibrations and noise. Firstly, based on the known forces in the bearings, a script in Python programming language was written, which eliminates or reduces the rotor imbalance. The real measured signal had to be filtered beforehand, because of the noise present. For that the Butterworth type of filter from the SciPy library was used. Secondly, the actual rotor was balanced with the developed program. Then, an imbalance was deliberately caused with the use of additional masses and the resulting imbalance was reduced in few iterations. The thesis shows, that with appropriate process of removing or adding material, the forces in the rotation of a rigid body can be significantly reduced.
