ABSTRACT:
A self-compensating dynamic balancer is coupled to a rotating body to reduce internal vibrations generated due to eccentric mass of the rotating body. The balancer includes a main body having a circular race formed therein and being concentric with a rotation shaft of the rotating body, a plurality of moving members disposed in the race and capable of moving, and a cover member coupled to the main body to cover the race. An outer wall of the race is formed to guide movements of the moving members such that each of the moving members is operative to contact the outer wall of the race during the rotation of the main body. Also, at least one protrusion is formed on the surface of the cover member facing the moving members and/or the bottom of the race to guide movements of the moving members by selectively contacting the moving members, when the rotating body rotates while being oriented vertically.
