Those who own a vehicle understand what it means to have an alignment problem. During the course of the vehicles lifetime, it most likely will experience road bumps, dips and pot holes that can knock the vehicle out of alignment. When a car is knocked out of alignment, the vehicle owner might begin to notice several things such as the tires of the car begin to vibrate once a certain level of speed is reached. The same can be said for heavy machinery or appliance where the time has been knocked out of line with the center of gravity.

When an object that is designed to rotate within a machine has found itself out of align, then it can cause for the machine to vibrate or rattle. Once this out of place alignment happens, a dynamic balancing will need to take place. Dynamic balancing will help correct the amount of vibration.   It is important that any type of rotating equipment, if unbalanced, undergo dynamic balancing.  When an rotating apparatus is not functioning properly, then it is working harder than normal, and can cause addition problems if left unattended.

By dynamic balancing your rotating equipment, it is able use less energy. The noise and vibration is not only causing a rise in energy cost but the unbalance can also create wear and tear on the machine or equipment pieces. The longer the machine goes without dynamic balancing the closer one gets to shoveling out more and more money to repair other aspects and parts of the machine. What causes rotating equipment to become unbalanced?

A machine can need re-balancing after something creates the machine to go off line or quit its normal rotating cycle. For an example, take a washing machine and over fill it. When clothes are piled into the machine and the machine begins to spin the clothes can tumble around inside and build up along one side creating an imbalance to occur. A loud noise will begin to float out of the laundry room and the clothes are redistributed throughout bring the machine back to its normal rotating cycle.
