In this paper, the holospectrum technique based balancing method has been improved by reselection of the balancing object. Current holospectrum based balancing technique uses the initial phase vector (IPV) as the balancing object. Theoretical analysis of the precession behavior of an unbalanced rotor with anisotropic stiffness shows that, compared with the IPV, its forward precession component vector is much better in describing the rotor balance state and is more suitable to be used as the measurement of unbalance response. After the backward precession component is removed, the impact of probe orientation on the balancing analysis and calculation is completely eliminated and the computational procedure is greatly simplified without sacrificing the balancing precision. The experiments and field application cases verify the accuracy and effectiveness of this method.
