What's the name of the part that's placed on axis of a motor that has weight off-center, to create vibrations? Say, phone vibration motors have that.

    Do you mean the weight itself, the eccentric rotating mass (ERM)?

    @snailboat is correct - the part is the eccentric rotating mass or ERM, although sometimes it is referred to as just the "eccentric mass" when the context makes it clear that it's part of a vibration motor.

  • @snailboat: Just the technical element with the mass. (without the motor).

  • I believe ERM is the answer. Anyone up to posting it for easy +15 points?

I believe you mean the eccentric rotating mass (ERM), sometimes called simply the "eccentric mass", as ColleenV notes in her comment.
