Those slots, or areas where metal was removed serve to balance the motor's armature. This is similar to the concept of "balancing" a wheel on a car.
Metal material is 'shaved' or notched ( removed) from the side of the armature which is too heavy, ( and causes a ' wobble' as the RPM's are increased.)
However, On a car, wheel weights are added to the OPPOSITE side of the wheel's heaviest spot of imbalance, until the wheel can be spun at a high speed, with no wobble.
Answer
The slots carry the armature conductors, while minimising the air gap between the rotor and and the stator (to minimise the reluctance of the magnetic circuit)!
They have nothing to do with 'balancing' the armature.

Which type of dc armature winding requires equalizer rings?
Certain "Lap" wound armatures.
What is commutation in DC machines?
It is the process of conversion of generated ac voltage into the armature of a dc generator to dc voltage at the terminal of the dc generator by use of pair of brushes and commutator. OR It is the process of conversion of given dc voltage at the terminal of the dc motor to ac voltage in the armature windings in a dc motor by use of pair of brushes and commutator.
Why carbon brushes are used in DC machines?
Carbon brushes used in DC machines because carbon is soft material and it does not generate spikes when contact with commutator
What type of motor uses a brush commutator to operate?
DC motors generally use commutators. Also some single phase AC motors use commutators. They are the type which which have their field windings connected in series with their armatures and they can typically be found in home vacuum cleaners, DIY-type ac electric drills, etc.
I have a chicago electric 180 acdc arc welder can i use the same welding rod for either ac or dc welding?
Some electrodes (welding rods) can be used AC or DC. Some are strictly DC. You may find that most electrodes run smoother on DC. Most industries purchase machines with DC capability.
Which type of dc armature winding requires equalizer rings?
Certain "Lap" wound armatures.
What is mechanical loss in dc machines?
Friction and windage causes mechanical loss in DC machines.
What is the principles of DC machines?
All DC machines are works based on the principle of FARADAY'S LAW OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.
What is commutation in DC machines?
It is the process of conversion of generated ac voltage into the armature of a dc generator to dc voltage at the terminal of the dc generator by use of pair of brushes and commutator. OR It is the process of conversion of given dc voltage at the terminal of the dc motor to ac voltage in the armature windings in a dc motor by use of pair of brushes and commutator.
How can the field coils of DC machines be connected with self excited machines?
No
How many types of DC machine?
05 types of dc machines
How is DC shoes made?
machines
Why carbon brushes are used in DC machines?
Carbon brushes used in DC machines because carbon is soft material and it does not generate spikes when contact with commutator
What is the EMF for DC machines?
Electro Magnetic Field
Does a stick welder run on ac or DC?
For output, either one. Most machines produce Direct Current DC. It is much easier to use and most electrodes can be used with DC. Almost all use Alternating Current AC for a power source - input. Hope this helps.
Why DC motors and DC generators are commonly known as DC machines?
because the dc motor will act as dc generator as same as dc generator acts as a dc motor .so it is called as dc machines.AnswerBecause generators and motors are machines, and operate on d.c.'A.C. machines' are generators, transformers, and motors which operate on a.c.
What type of motor uses a brush commutator to operate?
