Provided herein is an automatic balancing device for counterbalancing an out-of-balance mass present in a rotating body. The automatic balancing device includes a chamber with an outer wall and an axis, first and second counterbalancing masses constrained to move freely in a circular path about the axis within the chamber, and a viscous fluid provided in the chamber so as to provide viscous coupling between the outer wall of the chamber and each of the counterbalancing masses. The counterbalancing masses may be arranged so that the first counterbalancing mass leads the second counterbalancing mass when the device is in use. A constraint may be provided with the device so as to prevent the first counterbalancing mass from leading the second counterbalancing mass by more than substantially 180°. |
