Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining the static unbalance of a body (30) provided with a locating surface (31) by means of a center-of-gravity weighing scale (10), the method including measuring the position of the locating surface (31) of the body (30) with respect to its mount by means of electric displacement sensors (16), computing from the measurement signals of the displacement sensors (16) the eccentricity of the locating surface (31) of the body (30) with respect to the reference point of the scale (10) by means of an electric evaluating circuit, weighing the body (30) and recording mass and position of the center of gravity of the body (30) with respect to the reference point of the scale (10), and computing the unbalance of the body (30) from the measurement signals of the scale (10) and the eccentricity of the locating surface (31) of the body (30) with respect to the reference point of the scale (10) by means of the evaluating circuit.
