Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'dynamic' (relating to motion/forces) + 'balance' (a state of equilibrium), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to equilibrium under motion or forces. Although the full technical details about rotating shafts and centrifugal forces are specialized, the core concept is compositional and therefore immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The term dynamic balance comes from the image of a spinning wheel: if the wheel's weight is even it turns smoothly, but if weights are uneven it will wobble and vibrate. So dynamic and balance together mean being 'balanced while moving', which reduces shaking.
