Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rotating assembly includes a shaft having a driven end and a driving end. At least one rotating member coupled to the driven end. A support member is operatively connected to the at least one rotating member. A dynamic balancing system is operatively coupled to the support member. The dynamic balancing system includes a first balancing weight rotatably mounted to the support member. The first balancing weight is operatively connected to a first motor. A second balancing weight is rotatably mounted to the support member. The second balancing weight is operatively connected to a second motor. A controller is operatively connected to the first and second motors. The controller is configured and disposed to signal each of the first and second motors to rotate and to establish a desired position of the first balancing weight and the second balancing weight relative to at least one rotating member.
