When an unbalanced rotor rotates at a given rotational velocity and acceleration, dynamic forces appear in the bearing supports due to the mass imbalance, which reduce the service life of the bearings. As part of the diploma thesis, using affordable components and the Python programming language, a balancing device with automated capture and processing of measured signals was developed. With the designed graphic interface, the user of the device is able to control the recording equipment and display the balancing results.
