Abstract

The method and apparatus for correcting the dynamic balance of a rotating body, whereby the correction of the dynamic balance of a rotating body is achieved by fixing a correcting agent on the rotating body after the position of the dynamic unbalance and the amount of the dynamic unbalance in the rotating body are measured, are so constructed as to detect whether or not the correcting agent fixed on the rotating body is protruding from a prescribed configuration of the rotating body. Therefore, the method and the apparatus are capable of not only correcting a dynamic unbalance of a rotating body, but also detecting the protrusion of the correcting agent fixed on the rotating body.
