Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to apparatus and method for sensing for unbalanced force produced due to rotation of a cylindrical rotor. An unbalanced force sensing apparatus for sensing an unbalanced force produced due to rotation of a cylindrical rotor, the apparatus including a shaft having gas passageways to convey a first gas against the inner surface of the rotor to support the rotor away from the shaft, a second gas for flowing over the outer surface of the rotor to rotate the rotor, and a force sensing means for sensing an unbalanced produced due to rotation of the rotor around the shaft.
