A device for self-balancing a rotating part, such as a propeller, along a given axis is disclosed. The propeller 102 coupled to, a drive shaft with freedom for linear movement along longitudinal axis L-L; at least one pair of levers 614/616, comprising a first lever 614-1/616-1 and a second lever 614-2/616-2, that are pivotally mounted on mounting plate 606 at two diametrically opposite points 618; and at least one pair of weights 622 fixed at external ends of the levers 614/616. inner ends of levers 614/616 are operatively coupled to the propeller 102 such that when propeller 102 undergoes a linear movement in any direction along the longitudinal, axis L-L due to unbalance, inner ends of levers are, moved to cause the weights 622 to move to provide a balancing force to neutralize the unbalance in the propeller. An embodiment with only one pair of levers is also disclosed.
A device for self-balancing a rotating part along a given longitudinal axis in plane of rotation of the rotating part, wherein the device is adapted to allow the rotating part freedom to move along the longitudinal axis, and further comprises linkages to move at least one-pair of balancing weights when the rotating part undergoes movement along the longitudinal axis under a force acting generally along the longitudinal axis being caused by an unbalanced mass on the rotating part;
