This is common when you know the total unbalance but need to distribute it physically between two available correction locations.\"}},\n{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the difference between static and couple unbalance?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Static unbalance is a single unbalance force that can be detected without spinning the rotor (it causes the rotor to hang heavy-side down). Couple unbalance consists of two equal and opposite unbalance vectors in different planes, which cancel statically but create a rocking motion during rotation. Most real-world unbalance is a combination of both.\"}},\n{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does CG position affect the decomposition?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The CG position determines the lever ratio for splitting the correction. If the CG is centered between planes, each plane gets 50% of the unbalance. If the CG is offset (e.g., 60\/40), the plane closer to the CG gets less correction mass and the farther plane gets more, following the inverse lever rule.\"}},\n{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I measure the distances to each plane?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Measure the axial distance from the rotor's center of gravity to each correction plane. The CG can be estimated from the rotor geometry or found experimentally by balancing on knife edges. The distances L\u2081 and L\u2082 are measured along the shaft axis.\"}},\n{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"When should I use two-plane vs single-plane balancing?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Use single-plane balancing for disc-like rotors (L\/D < 0.5) operating below their first critical speed. Use two-plane balancing for long rotors (L\/D > 0.5), rotors with significant couple unbalance, or any rotor where single-plane balancing doesn't achieve the required quality.\"}}\n]}\n<\/script>\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"itemListElement\":[\n{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/\"},\n{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Calculators\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/calculators\/\"},\n{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Correction Mass Decomposition\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/vibromera.eu\/calculators\/correction-mass-decomposition\/\"}\n]}\n<\/script>\n\n<link rel=\"preconnect\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\">\n\n<link rel=\"preconnect\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\" crossorigin>\n\n<link href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=DM+Sans:ital,opsz,wght@0,9..40,300;0,9..40,400;0,9..40,500;0,9..40,600;0,9..40,700;1,9..40,400&#038;family=JetBrains+Mono:wght@400;500;600&#038;family=Fraunces:opsz,wght@9..144,700;9..144,800&#038;display=swap\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\n\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.jsdelivr.net\/npm\/katex@0.16.11\/dist\/katex.min.css\">\n\n<style>\n:root {\n    --vc-bg: #f4f1ec;\n    --vc-surface: #ffffff;\n    --vc-surface-alt: #f8f6f2;\n    --vc-ink: #1a1a1a;\n    --vc-ink-secondary: #5a5650;\n    --vc-ink-muted: #8a857e;\n    --vc-accent: #c85a2a;\n    --vc-accent-hover: #b04d22;\n    --vc-accent-light: #fdf0ea;\n    --vc-blue: #2a5c8c;\n    --vc-blue-light: #eaf1f8;\n    --vc-green: #2a7a4b;\n    --vc-green-light: #eaf8ef;\n    --vc-yellow: #a67c00;\n    --vc-yellow-light: #fef9e8;\n    --vc-red: #b91c1c;\n    --vc-red-light: #fef2f2;\n    --vc-border: #d9d4cc;\n    --vc-border-light: #e8e4dd;\n    --vc-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(26,26,26,0.06), 0 4px 12px rgba(26,26,26,0.04);\n    --vc-shadow-lg: 0 4px 12px rgba(26,26,26,0.08), 0 16px 40px rgba(26,26,26,0.06);\n    --vc-radius: 8px;\n    --vc-radius-lg: 12px;\n    --vc-font: 'DM Sans', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;\n    --vc-mono: 'JetBrains Mono', 'Consolas', 'Monaco', monospace;\n    --vc-display: 'Fraunces', Georgia, serif;\n}\n\n.vc-calculator {\n    font-family: var(--vc-font);\n    font-size: 15px;\n    line-height: 1.65;\n    color: var(--vc-ink);\n    max-width: 960px;\n    margin: 0 auto;\n    padding: 20px 16px 40px;\n    -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\n}\n.vc-calculator *, .vc-calculator *::before, .vc-calculator *::after { box-sizing: border-box;

We'll assume the mass is already at a radius\n        \/\/ and the user wants to split it. Let's use a simple approach:\n        \/\/ If the planes have different radii, we use unbalance (g\u00b7mm) as the \n        \/\/ intermediate quantity. We need one more datum \u2014 the total correction radius.\n        \/\/ Since the spec says \"Total correction mass (g)\" and separate \"Radius plane 1\/2\",\n        \/\/ we'll assume the total correction is expressed as a mass that needs to be \n        \/\/ placed at the CG. The unbalance is then U = m * R_eff where R_eff can be\n        \/\/ taken as a weighted average or the user intention is simpler:\n        \/\/\n        \/\/ Simplest interpretation: split the mass by the lever rule, then adjust \n        \/\/ for different radii by conserving unbalance:\n        \/\/ m1_raw = mTotal * L2 \/ Ltotal  (lever rule mass fraction)\n        \/\/ m2_raw = mTotal * L1 \/ Ltotal\n        \/\/ If R1 \u2260 R2, scale: m1 = m1_raw * (R_ref \/ R1), m2 = m2_raw * (R_ref \/ R2)\n        \/\/ But we don't have R_ref. So we'll treat R1 and R2 as the actual placement radii\n        \/\/ and assume the total mass \"m\" was specified at some radius R_ref.\n        \/\/\n        \/\/ Let's use the clean unbalance approach: let user's total unbalance be \n        \/\/ U_total = mTotal * R_avg where R_avg is not specified. \n        \/\/ Actually, the simplest and most standard approach for this calculator is:\n        \/\/ The total correction defines a total unbalance moment.\n        \/\/ If R_correction is not given, we use the average of R1 and R2, \n        \/\/ or we simply split the MASS (not unbalance) by the lever rule.\n        \/\/\n        \/\/ Standard approach used in field balancing:\n        \/\/ The correction mass m_total at the CG (conceptual) splits as:\n        \/\/ m1 = m_total \u00d7 L2 \/ (L1 + L2) \u00d7 (R_ref \/ R1)\n        \/\/ m2 = m_total \u00d7 L1 \/ (L1 + L2) \u00d7 (R_ref \/ R2)\n        \/\/\n        \/\/ Without R_ref, just split mass directly (assumes same radius):\n        \/\/ But the spec gives R1 and R2 separately, so let's use unbalance conservation.\n        \/\/ We'll compute U_total assuming a reference radius = average of R1, R2\n        \/\/ Actually the cleanest: treat the \"correction mass\" as already at a specific radius\n        \/\/ (which isn't given), so we just do lever rule on mass and display.\n        \/\/ The radii come in to convert between unbalance and mass.\n        \/\/\n        \/\/ FINAL APPROACH: The total unbalance is U = mTotal \u00d7 R_ref (some reference).\n        \/\/ We split U: U1 = U \u00d7 L2\/L, U2 = U \u00d7 L1\/L\n        \/\/ Then m1 = U1\/R1, m2 = U2\/R2.\n        \/\/ The R_ref cancels if R1=R2=R_ref. If they differ, we need R_ref.\n        \/\/ Let's use R_ref = (R1+R2)\/2 as a reasonable assumption, OR\n        \/\/ we can just use unbalance directly: \n        \/\/ Let the user enter mass in g. The \"radius\" of this mass is unspecified.\n        \/\/ In practice, the correction mass at the CG is conceptual.\n        \/\/ The safest interpretation: the correction is m grams at a conceptual CG radius.\n        \/\/ Since we have R1 and R2 for the actual planes, let's assume R_ref = R1 = R2 \n        \/\/ (most common case) and handle the general case:\n        \/\/\n        \/\/ U_total_at_R_avg = mTotal [g\u00b7mm is unitless since we need a radius]\n        \/\/ Actually let me just implement it the straightforward way:\n        \/\/ Treat it as pure mass split by lever, then if radii differ, \n        \/\/ the unbalance is m*R for each plane. This is the standard approach.\n\n        \/\/ Lever rule mass split (ignoring radii for the mass split itself):\n        var m1 = mTotal * L2 \/ Ltotal;\n        var m2 = mTotal * L1 \/ Ltotal;\n\n        \/\/ If radii are different from each other, we should actually conserve unbalance:\n        \/\/ U_total = mTotal * R_ref => split by lever => U1 = U_total * L2\/L, U2 = U_total * L1\/L\n        \/\/ m1_actual = U1 \/ R1, m2_actual = U2 \/ R2\n        \/\/ But R_ref is unknown. The standard approach in practice is:\n        \/\/ If correction mass was measured\/calculated for a known radius R_c:\n        \/\/ U = mTotal * R_c, then m1 = (U * L2\/L) \/ R1, m2 = (U * L1\/L) \/ R2\n        \/\/ \n        \/\/ Since we don't have R_c, let's use R_c = sqrt(R1*R2) or just the average,\n        \/\/ but the most practical approach is:\n        \/\/ The lever rule gives the mass split for SAME radius. If radii differ,\n        \/\/ we scale each mass inversely. Let's assume the total mass is at \n        \/\/ a conceptual radius equal to (R1*L1 + R2*L2)\/(L1+L2) weighted radius.\n        \/\/\n        \/\/ SIMPLEST CORRECT APPROACH:\n        \/\/ The total correction is m_total grams.
