I agree but simply not all vibrations come from such I did not say all vibrations can be eliminated by balance. I agreed some vibration are an occurance of a desired job of the part. Why do you think that is narrow-minded? (playing with your newsreader options?) It was actually not. :)

It largely read that way, but yes you didn't actually say all cases of vibration can be solved by balancing. Also, balancing process may not be perfect.

but my system is a balanced one i is present at place near to a vibration producing source and to avoid transfer of vibration to my system from it , what should i do?

Actually there are a great many vibration problems that have nothing to do with balancing and that cannot be resolved in that way.

Examples are many and include:

The only thing (and granted it is a big only) is reduce the excitation magnitude such that the resulting vibration is acceptable ... as a practical matter it cannot be eliminated entirely.
