ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for balancing rotatable members whereby a member to be balanced is rotated first in one direction about an axis at a selected speed and then is rotated in the opposite direction about the same axis and at the same speed. A sensor determines the circumferential apparent location of greatest imbalance or runout of the member in each of the directions of rotation, following which any imbalance of the rotatable member is compensated for by adding or removing weight to or from such member at a circumferential zone which is equidistant between the apparent locations of greatest imbalance.
