Static and Dynamic Balancing Apparatus
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-7333
The Static and Dynamic Balancing Apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-7333) is used to balance a rotating mass system of four blocks on a steel shaft, first statically and then dynamically. JaincoLab makes this balancing apparatus for theory of machines practicals in mechanical engineering colleges and polytechnics, where students find the relative weights of the blocks, draw the moment polygon and confirm the balance by running the shaft with a motor.
Specifications
The unit has a steel shaft fixed in a rectangular frame, four blocks with clamping arrangement, angular and longitudinal scales for positioning them, a cord and container system that weighs each block in steel balls, chains for suspending the frame and a motor that spins the shaft.

Applications of the static and dynamic balancing apparatus
The static and dynamic balancing apparatus shows why a shaft that is balanced at rest can still vibrate when it turns, and lets students correct both conditions by calculation and test, which is a core practical in the balancing unit of theory of machines.
- Balancing a single rotating mass system statically and dynamically
- Finding the relative weights of the blocks with the cord and container method
- Drawing the moment polygon to fix the angular and axial positions of the blocks
- Observing the effect of unbalance in a rotating mass system
- Theory of machines practicals in B.E./B.Tech and diploma mechanical engineering courses
