A vibration attenuator for a rotor of an aircraft has a housing adapted for rotation with the rotor about an axis. A first ring is rotatably carried within the housing on a first bearing, a first weight being coupled to the first ring for rotation therewith relative to the housing about the axis. A second ring is rotatably carried by the first ring on a second bearing, a second weight being coupled to the second ring for rotation therewith relative to the housing and to the first ring. A first motor is configured for rotating the first ring relative to the housing, and a second motor is configured for rotating the second ring relative to the housing and to the first ring. The first and second motors are operated to rotate the weights within the housing and position the weights relative to each other for attenuating vibrations.

A device for damping vibrations in a structure including a first (or inner) element rotatably mounted around a rotational axis and a second (or outer) element rotatably mounted around said rotational axis. A radius (R1) of a circle portion delimitating the first element with respect to the rotational axis, being smaller than a radius (r2) of a circle portion delimitating the second element with respect to the rotational axis.

A torque damper apparatus includes an input-side plate having a pair of side plates and rotatably driven in response to drive force from a motor, a center plate coupled to an output shaft and arranged between the pair of side plates, and an elastic transmission body provided between the input-side plate and the center plate to transmit rotary drive force of the input-side plate to the center plate. The input-side plate has, at a plate surface of at least one side plate, multiple weight attachment holes for attaching a balance weight. Each weight attachment hole is formed in a long hole shape extending along a circumferential direction at an outer edge portion of the side plate.

A rotation device capable of improving safety includes a plurality of screw holes that each extend along the radial direction of a rotation member and each has an opening on a surface of the rotation member; and a stopper for preventing a screw disposed inside the screw hole from protruding to the outside of the opening, without interfering with insertion of a tool, for turning the screw, into the screw hole.

An assembly for a hybrid drivetrain of a motor vehicle, having a first torque transmission device and a second torque transmission device connected thereto so as to transmit torque. The first torque transmission device is arranged to be axially spaced apart from the second torque transmission device and the second torque transmission device has a smaller radial extension than the first torque transmission device. An installation space for a drivetrain device is defined radially above the second torque transmission device such that said drivetrain device is delimited axially by the first torque transmission device. A spacer device is arranged between the two torque transmission devices in the torque transmission path for axial spacing and is designed such that an axially definable minimum spacing between the defined installation space and the first torque transmission device is maintained and has a balancing device for compensating for imbalance of the assembly.

A self-balancing vibration damping system, an active vibration damping seat, and transport equipment are provided. The self-balancing vibration damping system includes an active vibration damping module, a control module, a sensor module, and a receiving module, where the sensor module is configured to acquire motion data of the transport equipment; the active vibration damping module includes a first rotating assembly and a second rotating assembly; the first rotating assembly is provided in an accommodation space; the second rotating assembly is provided at a driving end of the first rotating assembly, and is butted with the receiving module; the control module is configured to control the first rotating assembly and the second rotating assembly to operate synchronously according to the motion data, so as to provide a force opposite to a tilt direction of the receiving module.

A weight applicator including a weight applicator head and at least one actuator is disclosed. The weight applicator head is adapted to carry a wheel balance weight and has a weight application surface with a weight retaining region and a leading rotation region. The at least one actuator is coupled to the weight applicator head for manipulating the weight applicator head in at least one direction. The at least one direction has a radial component. The leading rotation region is oriented to extend radially further than the weight retaining region.

An offset in-line four cylinder engine has reduced vibration generated by a secondary inertia couple based on lateral pressures from pistons. A reference line passes through a shaft center of a crankshaft and is parallel or substantially parallel to cylinder axes of four cylinders as viewed in the axial direction of the crankshaft. As viewed in the axial direction of the crankshaft, the direction in which the reference line extends is referred to as first direction, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction is referred to as second direction. A distance between the shaft center of a first balancer shaft and the reference line as measured in the second direction is different from the distance between the shaft center of a second balancer shaft and the reference line as measured in the second direction, or a magnitude of a first unbalancing portion is different from a magnitude of the second unbalancing portion.

The present disclosure discloses a composite balance ring and a washing machine. The balance ring is internally hollow to form a chamber. The chamber is horizontally provided with a partition plate which divides the chamber into upper and lower chambers. The upper and lower chambers communicate through an overflow structure and a backflow structure, and the chamber is filled with balancing liquid with a level close to the partition plate. During the dehydration process of the washing machine, the balancing liquid in the lower chamber overflows into the upper chamber by a low overflow speed through a narrow gap that forms the overflow structure, and the balancing liquid remaining in the lower chamber provided with a counterweight force in the inner tub, so that the increase of eccentric displacement of the inner tub due to eccentric flowing of the balancing liquid is avoided.
