Experimental Evaluation of Frame Mass on Balancing Performance

David Murphy

The balancing capability of a balancer is affected by its mass in a nontrivial way. Theoretically, as the mass approaches infinity, the balancer enforce a node in its location, adversely affecting balancing performance. Three different balancers of varying masses were experimentally evaluated. It was shown that performance improves inversely proportional to the mass
