154 Pages - One of the best books written exclusively on balancing rotating machinery.
The Machinery Balancing Manual has been prepared by individuals with a combined total of over 90 years experience in dynamic balancing and vibration analysis. In addition to the practical knowledge gained over the years, they have also authored ASME and other papers, served on the ANSI Standards committees on dynamic balancing and taught many training seminars on the subject.
