how to balance a 1 rotor?
ok i have a bunch of old 12a parts layingaroud.. and i wanted to make a single rotor just for a go kart or w/e i can do lathe work and machine down the e shaft and all other fabrication needed. but since your cutting off one full rotor how would you balance it? i wondered cause normally you have the front counterwieght and the rear counterwieght in the flywheel, would i have to throw those on the lathe and take off material too, or make all new wieghts?
it seems to me you might need bigger counterwieghs, cause now its 1 rotor and you dont have another to counteract the forces so maybe youd need counterwieghts that are bigger or offset in another direction from the e shaft... i didnt want to spend big bucks on getting it professionally balanced i wonder if theres a mathematical way of figuring it out.. that way it would be sortof close?
just wondered?
