Missile balancing assemblies include two balancing rings configured for mounting on a missile, each balancing ring having a ballast. Each balancing ring is configured to be rotated and rotationally fixed, and may include materials having different densities at different locations. Each balancing ring may further include an angular graduation.

A drive shaft assembly includes an elongate member and a tuned absorber assembly. The elongate member has an exterior surface that is disposed about an axis. The tuned absorber assembly includes a mass and a sleeve. The mass is at least partially disposed about the exterior surface. The sleeve extends between a first sleeve end and a second sleeve end. The sleeve is disposed about the mass and spaces the mass apart from the exterior surface of the elongate member.

A device for delivery of balancing weights for wheels, comprises a material storage, a feeder and a partitioning unit. In some embodiments, the feeder has a cylinder segment shaped feeder head, linearly moveable between a loading position and a delivery position. In some embodiments, the partitioning unit comprises a transport means for transport of a belt of balancing weight segments and a belt cutter for making a balancing weight by cutting at least one or multiple sections from the belt. In some embodiments, the partitioning unit further comprises two loaders for each holding a balancing weight when the feeder is not in a loading position and loading it on the feeder when the feeder is in the loading position.

A balancing weight mountable within a balance hole of a rotary component includes a cylindrical body having a desired weight. An opening is formed in a portion of the body to define a hollow passageway and a mechanism couples the cylindrical body within an interior of the balance hole.

A combination vehicle tire sensor assembly and in-tire wheel balancer is adapted for residing inside a pneumatic tire mounted on a wheel rim of a motor vehicle. The combination includes a flexible mounting cable secured to the sensor assembly, and adapted for extending circumferentially within an annular space formed between the tire and wheel rim. A counterweight is secured to the mounting cable inside the pneumatic tire a spaced distance from the sensor assembly. A substantially hollow balancer belt resides inside the pneumatic tire adjacent the sensor assembly and counterweight, and defines a circumferentially-extending exterior groove designed for receiving and locating the mounting cable, and a circumferentially-extending interior cavity adapted for loosely containing a wheel-balancing medium.

A rotor assembly has a drive shaft and a bladed rotor mounted to the drive shaft for rotation therewith. A dampening material is bonded to the rotor at a location where there is torsional strain energy present. Shear forces in the damping material are used to convert the torsional strain energy into heat energy, thereby providing torsional vibration damping.

A shaft assembly that includes a shaft, which has a wall with an interior surface, a universal joint member, which is coupled to an end of the shaft and a balance weight that is received in the shaft and fixedly coupled to the interior surface. The balance weight includes an ultraviolet light-curable or light-cured resin.
