ABSTRACT:
A counterbalancing apparatus for dynamically balancing an out of balance rotating member. A first series of weights having identical size and weight are mounted to freely move within a first groove or race when the apparatus is rotating after being mounted to a shaft or other rotatable member. A second series of weights having identical size and weight are similarly mounted to freely move within a second groove or race located inside of the first race. The first series of weights is different in size and weight from the second series of weights. A locking apparatus locks and releases the weights at predetermined angular velocities. Fluids of different viscosities and race configurations are additionally used to vary weight dynamics.
