Abstract—In this paper a discussion is presented on using various mechatronic systems for automatic balancing to be used for shafts in motion. A general classification of such balancing methods is presented. Also, a method of determining effectiveness of named autonomous balancing solutions is shown and discussed on example of patented and currently used methods. This discussion serves as entrance point to finding a novel most effective solution of automatic shaft balancing system.
