  • Assembly for balancing a shaft assembly with misbuild prevention device
    Patent number: 6893349
    Abstract: A torque transfer assembly having a first rotatable element with a first flange, a second rotatable element with a second flange, and an alignment assembly establishing a single coupled orientation for the first and second rotatable elements. First and second imbalance vectors, corresponding to the first and second rotatable elements respectively, each include a magnitude and direction relative to the reference axis which are in balancing alignment when the rotatable elements are in the coupled orientation.

  • Method and assembly for balancing a shaft assembly with misbuild prevention device
    Publication number: 20040162148
    Abstract: A torque transfer assembly having a first rotatable element with a first flange, a second rotatable element with a second flange, and an alignment assembly establishing a single coupled orientation for the first and second rotatable elements. The invention is further directed to a method for balancing a drive assembly having a first rotatable element, a second rotatable element, and an alignment assembly establishing a coupled orientation for the first and second rotatable elements relative to a reference axis. The method includes the steps of establishing a first imbalance vector for the first rotatable element, establishing a second imbalance vector for the second rotatable element, and coupling the first and second rotatable elements in the coupled orientation. The first and second imbalance vectors each include a magnitude and direction relative to the reference axis which are in balancing alignment when the rotatable elements are in the coupled orientation.
