There are two primary types of balancing machines, these are hard-bearing and soft-bearing machines. The difference between them, is in the shaft / bearing suspension and not the bearings.
In a hard-bearing machine, balancing when preformed is done at a frequency that is lower than the resonance frequency of the machine suspension. In a soft-bearing machine, balancing when preformed is done at a frequency higher than the resonance frequency. Both types of machines have various advantages / disadvantages. Hard-bearing machines are generally more versatile and can handle pieces with greatly varying weights and because hard-bearing machines are measuring centrifugal forces this then only require one-time calibration. Only five geometric dimensions need to be fed into the measuring unit to be ready for use. Therefore, ideal for low- and middle-size volume production and in repair workshops.
Soft-bearing machines are not so versatile with respect to amount of rotor weight to be balanced. Preparation of a soft-bearing machine, individual rotor types is more time consuming and needs calibration for every individual part. It is very suitable for high-production volume and high-precision balancing tasks.
Both types hard and soft-bearing machines can be automated to remove weight automatically, example such as by drilling or milling. Hard bearing machines are generally more robust and reliable. Both machine types can be integrated into a production line and loaded by a robot arm or gantry, requiring very little human control.
Soft objects have a low rigidity and can easily change shape when pressure is applied, while hard objects have high rigidity and maintain their shape under pressure. Soft objects often have a smooth surface texture, while hard objects are typically rough or firm to the touch. Examples of soft objects include pillows or sponge, while examples of hard objects include rocks or metal.
Soft magnets are easily magnetized and demagnetized, while hard magnets retain their magnetism once magnetized. Soft magnets have low coercivity and high permeability, making them suitable for applications like electromagnets. Hard magnets have high coercivity and are used in applications where a strong, lasting magnetic field is needed, such as in permanent magnets.
The essential difference between soft iron and hard iron is in the crystalline structure of the metals. This is sometimes due to the presence of impurities, but the over-riding effect is that of heat treatment. The basic techniques (for iron) are to get it white-hot, then cool it slowly; this produces soft iron. Alternatively, get it dull red, or bright red, or yellow, or white, then plunge it into cold liquid. This process, called quenching, hardens the iron. Picking the correct colour before quenching gives just the hardness needed.
Soft materials have a porous structure that allows sound waves to penetrate and get trapped inside, reducing the sound's ability to bounce or reflect. In contrast, hard materials reflect sound waves, causing them to bounce off surfaces and remain in the environment. This difference in how sound waves interact with soft and hard materials contributes to the soft material's better sound absorption properties.
Truly pure silver is dead soft and doesn't get brittle. In fact true pure silver goes dead soft.
The difference is in the name; soft corals are soft have body ; with no bony or hard Parts
well is that one is hard and the other one is soft.
Soft data is stored on a data disk or hard drive. Where as hard data is printed.
a soft floor usually has carpet and a hard floor has wood or other things that are hard.
It is a difference between the hardness, generally expressed in the Mohs scale.
hard cheese is hardend by FAT! and i like soft cheese better than hard cheese. =]
The difference is in the name; soft corals have a soft body, with no bony or hard parts. In contrast, hard corals have a hard endoskeleton made of calcium carbonate.

soft wood is easy to cut but not good to make stuff and hard wood is hard to cut but good to make with
A soft market has more suppliers than buyers and hard market is the total opposite.

The innate soft texture of the soft rubber tires differentiates the soft rubber tires from their closely-related hard rubber tires.
