Hey everyone, I'm having trouble understanding the nature of the vibration in my mechanism. I've tried figuring out where the heavy spot is and checked the bearings. The vibration is quite less now, but it's still there. Any ideas on what else could be the problem?

it sounds like you're on the right track by checking the heavy spot and the bearings. If the vibration is still present, have you considered rotor balancing? It's a common issue that can cause residual vibration even after other factors are addressed.

I guess that here rotor balancing is crucial, especially if you've already addressed other common issues. Even a small imbalance can lead to noticeable vibration. Can you provide more details about the mechanism? What kind of rotor are you dealing with? When using a dynamic balancer, ensure that you're following the manufacturer's guidelines. Also, check for any structural issues around the rotor that could be contributing to the vibration. Sometimes, the problem isn't just the rotor but also how it's mounted or supported.
