A load balancing system for rotating members such as vehicle wheels and engine flywheels. An annular groove or recess in the wheel or flywheel receives a length of flexible tubing joined to form a continuous annular ring. The ends of the tube are secured by a sleeve. The tube is partially filled with a balancing fluid mass such as a mercury or small metal balls in a viscous fluid such as silicon. To protect the tube, a sealant is injected into the groove or recess. |
