This paper investigates and describes the possibility of using smartphones in the rotors balancing. It shows, in the beginning, a method to extract the necessary parameters for implementing the field balancing operation. An Android app was developed to record the unbalanced rotors’ smartphone sensor data. The recorded data is then processed and used to identify the quantity of mass necessary and its position via a Matlab app. In the end, the smartphone results were compared to the exact results.
