51. Balancing of industrial rotors in a balancing machine is usually done at speeds between 400 rpm and 700 rpm , because:


1. Industrial rotors have lateral critical speeds more than 5000 rpm

2. The rotor has critical speed generally less than 100 rpm

3. Speeds lower than 400 rpm do not create centrifugal forces of magnitudes measurable in this set up

4. Balanced rotors have no critical speed
