Parameter Name Description Values/Comments
No. of Planes Determines whether single-plane or two-plane balancing is required.
A good rule-of-thumb is the rotors width-to-diameter (W/D) ratio.
The W/D ratio is the width (excluding shaft length) of the combine
rotors divided by their diameter. The following chart can be used to
help determine whether to use one- or two-plane balancing.
