Determining a shaft balance adjustment includes measuring an initial
vibration of the shaft, determining if the initial vibration is greater
than a predetermined value, and, if the initial vibration is greater than
the predetermined value, determining an adjustment by choosing a best
adjustment for each possible location for adjustments. Choosing the best
adjustment may include choosing an adjustment that causes a lower amount
of vibration than adjustments not chosen. Measuring an initial vibration
may include using an accelerometer. Measuring an initial vibration may
include using conditioning electronics in connection with the
accelerometer. The predetermined value may be 0.01 ips.
