Abstract:
A method for balancing a rotor of a dynamo-electric machine, the rotor defining a plurality of slots in which turns of a coil of wire are received, which comprises:measuring a mass unbalance of the rotor after the turns of the coil of wire have been wound about the rotor;providing a first material supply configured for selective incremental delivery of material therefrom;delivering a predetermined section of material from the material supply, the section of material having a mass sufficient to compensate for the mass unbalance of the rotor;separating the predetermined section of material from the material supply to form a balancing mass; andattaching the balancing mass to the coil of wire within one of the plurality of slots in the rotor to compensate for the mass unbalance.
