摘要

A balancing arrangement for a rotating member (60), especially for a hollow shaft made from lightweight metal, in which a counterweight (40) of predetermined size and weight is affixed onto the external surfaces of the rotating member (60) in predetermined position by the use of a clamping band (10) made from a material normally devoid of any significant elastic stretchability. A plastically deformable ear structure (50) is provided in the clamp structure for tightening the clamping band which includes two generally outwardly extending leg portions (51a, 51b) interconnected by a bridging portion (52) that includes downwardly bent tab-like members (53a, 53b) along the longitudinal sides of the bridging portion to act as ramp surfaces and reinforcing elements for the ear structure. The counterweight (40) is thereby connected with the clamping band in one place by spot-welding (45), particularly, when both clamping band and counterweight are made of stainless steel.
