ABSTRACT:
An adjustable counterweight assembly for exerting a torque on a rotatable tubular member. A weight carriage is mounted with a frame of the counterweight for radial movement with respect to the tubular member, and an adjusting assembly moves the weight carriage radially to vary the torque exerted on the tubular member. To mount the counterweight with the tubular member, a plurality of plates, each of which has a substantially regular arcuate surface, are affixed to the counterweight frame to engage the uniform outer surface of the tubular member. A mounting assembly detachably secures these arcuate surfaces to the tubular member.
