The installation of this Off-set balancer, the propeller and crankshaft, gives the highest level of vibration reduction.
How They Work Balance Masters® are PATENTED, DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED AND DISTRIBUTED IN THE U.S.A. and are easy-to-install devices for propellers and Rotax engines. These devices cut the vibration factor on ultralight aircrafts by as much as 50 percent when both balancers are installed. Balance Masters® are weighted with a high density liquid mass (Mercury). The physical principles of centrifugal and gyroscopic forces explain the action of the Balance Masters®. With the Balance Masters installed, the weighted liquid mass (Mercury) in the apparatus shifts during spinning, and adjusts to compensate for imbalances due to such factors as changes in flying conditions or warpage in the propeller, from nicks and rocks during takeoffs and landings. The Propeller Balance Masters® mounts on the propeller shaft or gear box in conjunction with the propeller. It is less than 7 inches in diameter. The Engine Balance Master is made to fit most Rotax engines and bolts under the Starter Pulley on the Fly Wheel side of the engine. It is less than 5 inches in diameter. Each device weighs about 4 oz. Installation will take about 25-30 minutes using ordinary hand tools for each device. Balance Master is designed to fit most propeller bolt patterns and Rotax engines from 277FA through 582. We will need to know the manufacturer of your propeller and engine model to determine the right configuration. |
I bought this item because I know they work. What I didnt count on was shipping from the US to OZ inside a week!
Prop Balance Master Off Set
Fast delivery from Spruce. I got the 912/914 version, which fit the Rotax bolt pattern perfectly on my Saber prop spacer. Super easy to install, but I needed to get slightly longer prop bolts.
