A method for adaptive feed-forward 'AFF' vibration control using adaptive phase control 'APC' in an active vibration cancellation process, the method comprising: identifying a magnitude and a phase angle of vibration forces resulting from a previous cancellation signal, wherein a first measured force vector is defined by the magnitude and the phase angle of the vibration forces resulting from the previous cancellation signal; calculating a magnitude and a phase angle of a first cancellation force, wherein a first cancellation force vector is defined by the magnitude and the phase angle of the first cancellation force; transmitting a first AFF cancellation signal configured to generate the first cancellation force; identifying a magnitude and a phase angle of vibration forces resulting from the first AFF cancellation signal, wherein a first resultant force vector is defined by the magnitude and the phase angle of the vibration forces resulting from the first AFF cancellation signal; determining whether a phase angle difference between the phase angle of the first resultant force vector and the phase angle of the first measured force vector is substantially equal to zero; in response to determining that the phase angle difference is substantially equal to zero, continuing to transmit the first AFF cancellation signal; and in response to determining that the phase angle difference is not substantially equal to zero: calculating a magnitude and a phase angle of a second cancellation force, wherein a second cancellation force vector is defined by the magnitude and the phase angle of the second cancellation force; transmitting a second AFF cancellation signal including an AFF mechanical phase delay offset 'MPDO' value, the second AFF cancellation signal configured to generate a magnitude of a cancellation vector sum of the first and second cancellation forces and a phase angle defined by the AFF MPDO value, wherein the AFF MPDO value represents a compensation for the phase angle difference and a reduction of the phase angle of the second cancellation force compared to the phase angle of the first cancellation force; and measuring a magnitude and a phase angle of vibration forces resulting from the second AFF cancellation signal, wherein a second resultant force vector is defined by the magnitude and the phase angle of the vibration forces resulting from the second AFF cancellation signal. identifying a magnitude and a phase angle of vibration forces resulting from a previous cancellation signal, wherein a first measured force vector is defined by the magnitude and the phase angle of the vibration forces resulting from the previous cancellation signal;
