A rotating machine (2) includes a stationary component (4), a rotating component (10) that is moveable relative to the stationary component, and a balancing member (40) such as a balancing weight detachably mounted to the rotating component. The balancing member includes a self-locking device (76) that selectively engages the rotating component when in a locked position and disengages the rotating component, to permit removal of the balancing member, when in an unlocked position. In this manner, the self-locking device prevents the balancing component from becoming loose during operation of the rotating machine without requiring staking the balancing component to the rotating component. |
