Claim Text:
1. A method for suppressing vibrations, the method comprising the steps of: providing a first device provided with a first rotating shaft which is connected to a second rotating shaft of a second device, wherein the first rotating shaft and second rotating shaft are each journaled at two places at some distance from each other, and wherein vibrations are caused by misalignment between the first rotating shaft and second rotating shaft, causing the first rotating shaft or the second rotating shaft to be unbalanced; measuring the orbits of the center of the first rotating shaft at bearings during rotation of the first rotating shaft; analyzing the orbits; determining the misalignment and unbalance; displacing the first rotating shaft during rotation of the first rotating shaft, to eliminate the misalignment; and displacing in a continuous manner, the bearings in the radial direction to eliminate vibrations due to an unbalance.
