The invention relates to a method for balancing a component (1), in particular a rotor of an electric machine, using pins (11, 11′) which are introduced into prefabricated openings (5, 7, 9) in the component (1). The component (1) is balanced in that pins (11, 11′) of different lengths, cross-sectional areas, and cross-sectional shapes are fixed in corresponding openings (7, 9) in the component (1). Furthermore, the pins (11, 11′) can be assembled from multiple elements (13, 13′), and the method can be used to increase the balancing quality incrementally in one or more stages. The imbalance of the component (1) can be considerably reduced using said method, and simultaneously the weight, space requirements, and inertia of the component (1) can be reduced. In addition, the method can be automated.
